Ceiling fan falls down during family dinner
A video uploaded on YouTube by ViralHog showed a scenario that can make you jump off your seat at once.
A family of six were seen squatting on the floor on a mat and relishing their dinner while talking to one another.
Suddenly, the little child in their midst heard a noise and looked around. Seconds later, a ceiling fan dropped right on the lap of the child and the two men seated beside him.
The mother jumped from her seat and hugged the little child while the others remained frozen for quite a few seconds.
The caption of the video read: “The whole family was eating when the ceiling fan fell right between us. Luckily no one was hurt.”
Viewers were shocked at the fact that the family escaped such danger without any injuries. A user commented: “Now that’s a miracle! Another user, wrote: “That’s why I abhor ceiling fans. They don’t look good with the room, and they break apart with age.” – ndtv.com

Texas woman’s tongue is the world’s widest at 3.11 inches
A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.
Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.
Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.
Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.
“It is neat and kind of funny,” Lacayo told Guinness World Records.
The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.

An Ohio man used the numbers from his beloved dog’s license tag to play a Pick 5 lottery, drawing and scored a $50,000 prize.
Roger Sours of Tiffin told Ohio Lottery officials he bought a ticket for Wednesday’s Pick 5 drawing at the Pit Stop on N Washington Street in Tiffin and selected a special set of numbers: 1-0-8-2-2.
“I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5 and this number, the number that hit was actually my license number for my German Shepherd that I played. She’s no longer with us anymore,” he said.
Sours said he was shocked when he watched the lottery results on TV.
“I just sat here. I watched the lottery when I can, when it’s on TV and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn’t believe that it hit,” he recalled.
