Just when he realized he had grabbed the wrong suitcase , Ron Carter got a bigger shock . A cat jumped out of the bag!
Last week at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport in Texas, US, Carter picked up a bag which he thought was his. He realized his mistake when he opened the suitcase at home. He was about to close it again when a 10-month-old cat popped its head out. The cat took one look around and ran under the bed.
"I must have jumped six feet into the air and screamed like a girl," Carter, 37, said.

He eventually got the furry pet from under the bed. Carter noticed her collar featured the name and phone number of her owners. They had been frantically looking for their beloved "Gracie Mae."

朗.卡特發現拿錯手提箱時嚇了一大跳,因為有隻小貓跳了出來!
上週在美國德州的達拉斯/沃夫茲堡國際機場,卡特誤拿了一件行李。回家打開後才發現拿錯了,正要關上時,一隻只有十個月大的小貓探出頭來,牠張望了一眼便鑽到床底下。
「我一定驚跳了有六呎高,還像個女孩一樣尖叫,」三十七歲的卡特說。
最後他終於把這個小毛球從床下趕出來,並看到牠的項圈上有飼主的名字和電話,而對方一直發狂似地在尋找他們心愛的「葛瑞西.梅」。
小貓最終和主人在佛羅里達州的棕櫚灘花園團聚。

Chinese startup DeepSeek’s launch of its latest AI models, which it says are on a par or better than industry-leading models in the US at a fraction of the cost, is threatening to upset the technology world order. The company has attracted attention in global AI circles after writing in a paper last month that the training of DeepSeek-V3 required less than US$6 million worth of computing power from Nvidia H800 chips. DeepSeek’s AI Assistant, powered by DeepSeek-V3, has overtaken rival ChatGPT to become the top-rated free application available on Apple’s App Store in the US.

The crimson hue of theater seats is a long-standing tradition that has persisted through centuries and across continents.

野薑花是古巴國花,在古巴叫mariposa,意思是蝴蝶花。野薑花並非古巴原產,古巴卻對它情有獨鍾,獨立後選為國花,是有原因的。19世紀古巴對抗西班牙殖民的獨立戰爭中,往往透過女性身上或髮髻上插著野薑花,在花序的交錯的苞片縫隙裡夾藏字條,幫助革命分子傳遞作戰情報。 The white ginger lily (Hedychium coronarium) is the national flower of Cuba, where it is known as mariposa (literally “butterfly”) due to its shape. Women used to adorn themselves with these fragrant flowers in Spanish colonial times. Because of the intricate structure of the inflorescence (繁複的花序構造), women hid and carried secret messages important to the independence cause underneath it. 以下為古巴外交部對國花的說明: The white mariposa (Hedychium Coronarium) … became a symbol of Cuban flora because Cuban women used it to smuggle messages to the battlefield during the liberation wars of the 19th century.
