The Power Rangers were censored in Malaysia, because censors thought it would get kids addicted to drugs!

While many parents complained in the United States that the Power Rangers were too violent for youth, they were censored in Malaysia for a far sillier reason. Apparently, the censors in the Asian country thought that the word Morphin' was too close to the name of the drug Morphine, and decided to censor usage of that word on the show entirely.

The name of the show was changed from "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" to just "Mighty Power Rangers" and the phrase "It's Morphin' Time" was either muted, or cut altogether! The government was in the middle of a campaign against drugs, and they were looking for any and all ways in which drug addiction could creep up on little kids, even in words on shows that had nothing to do with drugs at all.

Cats meow to communicate with humans, not with each other!

Kittens meow to their mothers to request something. When they grow up and become adults they do not meow to each other anymore! Scientists believe that the reason adult cats meow is an extension of their baby behavior and that the cat is trying to communicate a need to it's owner!

Adult cats use many other methods to communicate. They use hissing, purring and growling with their vocal cords. However, a lot of their communication is with body language; for example, they arch their backs to signify fear or aggression. The positioning of their tail usually expresses their level of happiness: the higher up it's held, the happier the cat is. Finally, cats also use scent to communicate! They pee on their territory and they rub off against people and objects to imprint their scent onto them to communicate to other cats that those things are theirs!

Kim Kardashian's wedding cost $138,888 a day!

After only 72 days of marriage, socialite and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian, and NBA player Kris Humphries filed for divorce. This comes to a shock to those who watched their fairytale wedding special on E! only three weeks ago. 

She filed for divorce on Hallowen, citing "irreconcileable differences." The prenup they signed will ensure that neither pays spousal support to the other. This is only a few days after she told PEOPLE magazine that she used to be upset about rumors between them and that those rumors would always be around. According to some sources, the pressure of having so many reality show cameras around was too much for the young marriage.

The couple had been dating only 6 months before the wedding and the majority of their relationship was caught on tape for E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians. 

Kim's ring cost an estimated $2 Million and her wedding an estimated $10 Million. If you do the math, Kim's marriage bliss cost $138,888 per day! 

I guess Kris Humphries just couldn't keep up with those Kardashians.

American kids think they outperform other countries in tests. In reality? they're almost dead last!

There are many things wrong in the American public school system (we covered cafeteria meals here), and the film Waiting for Superman brought light to a lot of the issues facing schools. 

One of the most shocking ones is that, on international math and science tests, American schoolchildren rank 25th in Math and 21st in Science among the 30 most developed countries. However, they also ranked 1st in thinking they outperformed everyone else. Some experts think that this is a combination of a high focus on self-esteem and low expectations. If true, this might put the US in an educational disadvantage in the future.

A man's cellphone CALLED his family after he was already DEAD!

In 2008, a tragic train wreck that ended up being known as the Chatsworth crash in the San Fernando Valley, injured 135 people and killed 25 others. Among the tragic losses that day was Charles E. Peck, a 49-year-old man from Salt Lake City. 

His body wasn't recovered until 12 hours after the incident, and doctors determined that he died on impact. However, for the first 11 of the 12 hours he was missing, his loved ones received 35 calls from his cellphone. Though all they heard was static, this gave them the (false) hope that he was still alive. The cellphone was NEVER found.
