There’s a record for the number of tennis balls held in a dog’s mouth!

The world record is 5 tennis balls. It’s held by a golden retriever named Augie. He lives in Dallas, TX with the Miller family. The record was set in 2003, when Augie successfully held 5 standard sized tennis balls in his mouth. I don't know what's more interesting... the fact that Augie held 5 balls in his mouth, or that they keep track of these things.

In 1984, the Baltimore Colts secretly moved to Indianapolis!

Because of the then broken-down Memorial Stadium, the Colts kept lobbying to have their stadium remodeled. Some of the upgrades needed included replacing over 37,000 seats in the stadium and not increasing office space for the Colts’ employees.

In the middle of the night on March 29th, 1984, the mayor of Indianapolis ordered 15 buses to take the Colts to their new home in Indiana. The team, now called the Indianapolis Colts, was enticed by the Indianapolis mayor’s offer of playing in the Hoosier Dome, a $77.5 million stadium with 57,980 seats! To learn more about the daring move and what became of the team, click the Source below!

Scientists taught monkeys the concept of money!

Keith Chen and Laurie Santos gave capuchin monkeys a silver piece with a hole and taught them that the coins could be traded for things like fruit. After all the monkeys understood, each one was given 12 coins to spend on items like grapes and Jell-O.

To find out if the monkeys were mindlessly spending, Chen and Santos lowered the price of Jell-O and raised the price of grapes. The monkeys responded by buying more Jell-O and less grapes, just like how humans act with cash.

The monkeys were even taught to gamble and the monkeys made the same choices as a human would! Later on, observers noticed that one of the capuchin monkeys paid another monkey for sex using the specialty coins. Monkeys aren’t so different from us after all.

A man suffered a heart attack while eating at the "Heart Attack Grill"

It was only a matter of time until the restaurant that serves meals that can easily exceed 8000 calories would go through something like this. The Las Vegas restaurant caused a commotion when a 40-year old man started experiencing chest pains last Saturday night. 

The man was "having the sweats and shaking," according to one of the servers. He was suffering a heart attack and had to be taken by EMTs to the hospital. The restaurant is not known for promoting a healthy lifestyle. Items in their menu have names like "Triple Bypass burger" (which is what this man was eating when he had a heart attack), "Flatliner Fries" and "Butterfat Burger." Servers are called "Nurses," customers, "Patients" and the owner is a "Doctor."

The restaurant glorifies bad health. People who weigh over 350 pounds eat there for free. The "Quadruple Bypass burger" meal surpasses 8,000 calories, which is 4 times the average recommended daily dosage. No word on whether the restaurant will tone down on their "humor" or if they'll use this incident as a promotion point. We wish the man the best in his recovery.
