In 1982, Larry Walters—unable to become a pilot—tied 42 helium balloons to a lawn chair, expecting to float 30 feet above his yard. Instead, he shot up to 16,000 feet and drifted into Los Angeles airspace, startling airline pilots.

It is said that Aristotle always advised his student, Alexander the Great, to stay away from excessive company of women.

According to him, too much indulgence weakens a man’s judgment and clouds his wisdom.

The women of the royal harem were extremely annoyed by these teachings — they felt the advice was for Alexander, but the blame always fell on them.

she can turn you into a donkey in no time.
