Really TRUE odd factoids

I did read that. Surely must have been cheaper and easier to buy a new phone, port the number and restore the backup from the cloud, rather than walking back to the clouds....

When I was in Uni halls in the first year, another student (also Chinese) had lost his room keys. Instead of requesting a new key, or just leaving his door unlocked for a while, he locked his door from the inside and jumped from the first floor window to get out!

And got back in how?

And got back in how?

I think he climbed back in through the window up the drain pipe and someone spotted him and reported it

A climber airlifted from Mount Fuji last week returned a second time to retrieve his phone just four days later—only to be rescued again, authorities said Monday.
The 27-year-old Chinese student living in Japan had first been airlifted after developing symptoms of altitude sickness.
Then, he returned to the nearly 10,000-foot-high Fujinomiya trail to recover his phone and other items left behind. Another climber found him there unable to move after he apparently got sick for a second time, police said.

They should have charged him for the cost of the second rescue.
