Three burglars in Israel had a shock last month. They thought that they had a really good plan. But it didn't turn out so well.
The three planned to steal a safe from the home of a diamond dealer. The diamond dealer's apartment was on the top floor of the building. They put the safe into the lift to get it downstairs.
Lifts carry warnings about the maximum weight that can be carried. The burglars didn't check though, and the safe was too heavy. Instead of the lift carrying the safe to the ground floor, it moved just one meter!
The burglars couldn't make the lift move any farther. They also couldn't get the safe out of the lift. They had to wriggle through an opening of 30-50cm to escape, leaving the safe behind.
The people who lived in the building couldn't get the lift to work. So they called a repairman, who found the safe. But the funniest thing about this story is that the burglars were dressed as lift repairmen!(staff writer with DPA)
上個月以色列有三個小偷，他們本來打了一個如意算盤，但結果卻不如他們預期中那樣順利。
這三人本打算竊取一個鑽石商的保險箱，這個鑽石商人住在某公寓的頂樓，他們將偷來的保險箱搬進電梯，準備運下樓離開。
電梯都有張貼限重警示，但這三個竊賊沒有檢查。由於這個保險箱實在是太重了，本來應該到一樓的電梯，只往下降了一公尺就停下來了。
這三名竊賊沒有辦法操控故障的電梯，也無力將保險箱搬出電梯。他們也是很勉強地才從一個只有三十到五十公分寬的出口爬出來，最後只好不顧幾乎到手的保險箱落荒而逃。
這棟大樓的住戶因為電梯故障，所以請工程人員來修理，維修人員這才發現了電梯裡的保險箱。這件烏龍竊案最妙的部份就是，這三個笨賊當天還特意打扮成電梯維修人員呢！

Cats ruled in ancient Egypt—and not just in their own minds. These clever, graceful creatures were so deeply respected by the Egyptians that harming one could lead to severe punishment, even death. But why did the Egyptians hold cats in such high regard? It wasn’t just because they were cute; cats played a crucial role in protecting the country’s grain stores from pests. As guardians of Egypt’s food supply, they were seen as sacred animals. The Egyptians honored them through Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of protection, the home and fertility. Egyptians didn’t just love cats; they worshipped them. Cats lived in luxury,

The deep waters off the coast of California are home to a bizarre creature: the flapjack octopus. This creature, known for its pancake-like appearance, spreads itself thin on the seabed as a clever survival strategy, making it difficult for predators to spot and capture it. With its unique, umbrella-shaped body formed by webbed arms, the flapjack octopus moves through the water in a graceful manner. It propels itself forward by rhythmically moving its body and contracting its webbed arms. Its pair of ear-like fins, which move independently yet with remarkable coordination, also help it explore the deep-sea environment. These
