Hey... Wait up!! Maria Jones-Elliott, of Glenmore, Ireland, gave birth to twins Katie and Amy in June and August 2012- 87 days apart! In 1977, mountain climber George Willig was fined $1.10 after scaling the outside of the 110 story World Trade Center in New York without permission! In Elizabethan England, women gave their partners love apples to smell, which they had peeled and kept in a sweaty armpit!

These days the guy would have been charged $100 per floor – it’s all about the revenue! Just like traffic fines and other fees, the city’s gotta bring in that ‘hidden’ tax money!

I guess one of the babies was like “It is too crowded in here I am leaving”…One the tower climber thing now days they would have called in the SWAT team and shot him off the tower all while calling him a terrorist. The world sure has changed. I for one do not like the change.
