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

Message in bottle floats from Canada to Ireland in 13 years
A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com

Woman earns world record for collection of 15,485 egg cups
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
