That's some bananas! Brajesh and Shabista Srivastava have set up a legal trust to leave their millions to Chunimun- their pet monkey! During the American Civil War, letters and newspapers were often delivered by kites. In February 2015, Ari Goldberger and a band of Boston cyclists dug out a 40 foot long snow tunnel to ride through!

Those wimps in New England don’t know what a Heavy Snowfall IS..Check out the Photo From:http://twistedsifter.com/2012/03/65-foot-snow-corridor-in-japan/
…Murodo-daira of Tateyama has one of the heaviest snows in the world, and the snow reaches about seven meters (23 ft) [DEEP] on average. In particular, the snow mantle at Otani, a five-minute walk from Murodo Station, sometimes gets more than 20 meters (65.6 ft) because of snowdrifts. The famous “Snow Walls” are formed by expelling this heavy snow, and the 500-meter-long area with such snow walls is open to sightseers from mid-April to late May.
