~The inventor of the Pringles can had his ashes buried inside one of the tall tubes~

Fredric J. Baur of Cincinnati, OH was so proud of his invention that he requested for his remains to be encased inside of it after he died! During his life, he served as an organic chemist and food technician at Procter & Gamble. In 1966, Baur filed for a patent for the tall, skinny can and the novel method of stacking the curved chips inside. The patent was granted four years later, and he was able to retire in the early ‘80s knowing that he had invented something really cool. Baur passed away in May 2008 at the age of 89, and his children fulfilled his request - his ashes were split between a pair of urns and a Pringles can in his grave! (source)

Adult cats do not normally meow to each other, and so the meowing to human beings that domesticated cats exhibit is likely partly an extension of the use of this plaintive signal. When communicating with human beings, adult cats express variations of this tone to demand food or attention, register complaints, and convey bewilderment. An alteration in tone, pace, or punctuation changes the meaning, however slight.
While cats occasionally vocalize to one another with purrs, growls, and screeches, they generally communicate with one another through body language. When preparing to fight an adversary or to frighten one away, cats can emit long, articulated meows. Most vocalizations recognized as “meow” are specifically for human interaction.Cats also lick each other and people (e.g. their owners). Cats lick each other to groom one other and to bond (this grooming is usually done between cats that know each other very well). They will also sometimes lick people for similar reasons. These reasons include wanting to “groom” people and to show them care and affection.
Touching noses is a friendly greeting for cats, while a lowered head is a sign of submission. Some cats will rub their faces along their guardian’s cheek, hands, or ankles as a friendly greeting or sign of affection. This action is also sometimes a way of “marking their territory”, leaving a scent from the scent glands located in the cat’s cheeks. More commonly, cats do something called a “head bonk”, or “bunting”, where they literally bump someone with the front part of their heads to express affection

According to a British study, over 60,000 people receive hospital treatment each year due to injuries from opening food packaging. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that attempts to open packaging caused about 6,500 emergency room visits in the U.S. in 2004.A 2009 study conducted by the Institute for Good Medicine found that 17 percent of adults over the age of 21 were either injured at least once or know of someone who was injured while opening a holiday or birthday gift.
Companies are increasingly streamlining their products’ packaging to reduce wrap rage. Forces driving the efforts to improve packaging include pressure from consumers and retailers such as Wal-Mart for more eco-friendly packaging, and baby boomers who find it increasingly difficult to open packaging as they age.
