C.B Fry, who represented England at both Football and Cricket and once held the World Long Jump record, was once offered the throne of Albania (He declined). His favourite party trick was to leap backwards onto a mantlepiece, from a standing start, which He was still doing well into His 60's.

A mountain lion kitten is born with black and brown spots which act as a natural camouflage against predators. Around 2-3 months the spots already begin to disappear and by ~2-3 years they are completely gone.

Bonus! A mountain lion kitten is also born with light blue eyes which begin to change at 4 months. By the time the kitties are about 1.5 years old, their eyes are golden brown like a fully mature cougars.

Soap water kills wasps and hornets.

Got a nest around your house? Douse it. These critters breathe thru their skin, soap water cuts off their breathing, they die.

I actually used this a few years ago and it definitely works.

The soundtrack LP...G.I. Blues...was Elvis' first #1 Album of 1960...went Gold...and was the longest charting album of his career.
It remained on the bilboard charts for 122 weeks.

-The track Blue Suede Shoes was one of the only times Elvis would re-record a song he had already covered.
-The track Wooden Heart would be shelved from being released as a single in the U.S.,but would be a major hit over sea's.....#1 in the U.K.

The soundtrack LP...Blue Hawaii...was Elvis' biggest selling album of his lifetime...selling 2.5 million copies.
Spent several weeks at #1...and easily went Gold.
It was Elvis' 2nd consecutive #1 LP to begin 1961...(the studio LP Something For Everybody was his first.It also went Gold).

-the outstanding ballad Can't Help Falling In Love w/You was an instant classic.
this Gold standard would stall at #2 on the charts....and would be revived by Elvis from 69-77 as his concert closer(except in '71 when he used The Impossible Dream...but eventually went back to the classic ballad.)
-Rock a Hula Baby was the flip side...it scored a top 30 hit.
-the album contained 14 songs...the longest song lineup of any previous Elvis album.

I think their ' lungs' they breath thru are either located on the thorax or abdomen ( hey,it's been awhile since 5th grade biology) and that soapy solution vapor locks their operational system up big time,,,you "smoke& soap" those nuisance beehives out a couple hours after dark.
