The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is the fastest bird in the world, and not only that, it is also the fastest animal of all. Its daily flight is around 100 km/h, but when it comes to hunting it is capable of diving at more than 300 km/h. Its entire anatomy is perfectly adapted for the extreme speeds it can achieve. For this reason, it is not new that part of its aerodynamics has been adopted in the aerospace sector.

She is probably one of the most famous women a lot of you have never heard of, but we’re pretty sure you have heard her. She’s been called the greatest bassist in the world. She is Carol Kaye.

Carol was a studio musician in LA during the 60's and 70's. Although she is not fond of the term, she is often referred to today as an important member of “The Wrecking Crew”.

Carol played guitar and bass guitar on some TV show themes and a couple of hit songs you have probably heard. The TV show themes that she played on included Cannon, The Streets of San Francisco, Mission: Impossible, M*A*S*H, Kojak, Get Smart, Hogan's Heroes, The Love Boat, McCloud, Mannix, It Takes a Thief, Peyton Place and the Cosby Show. She is credited with performing on the soundtracks of Hawaii Five-O, The Addams Family and The Brady Bunch along with Ironside, Room 222, Bonanza, Wonder Woman, Alias Smith & Jones, Run for Your Life and Barnaby Jones.

Carol has written books, the first of many was "How To Play The Electric Bass". She gave lessons to thousands of students, including John Clayton, Mike Porcaro, Alf Clausen, David Hughes, Tony Sales, Karl E. H. Seigfried, Roy Vogt and David Hungate. Kaye retired from studio work during the 1970s because of arthritis.

Kaye played 12-string guitar on Frank Zappa's album Freak Out!. She also played on a few songs for his next album but declined to continue, saying she found some of the lyrics offensive. Kaye later said Zappa was good-natured and understanding about her qualms and they remained on friendly terms.

The words Colgate Lasagna don't sound particularly tasty, so perhaps it's no surprise that the dental care brand's 1980s-era frozen food line is now on the menu at Museum of Failure.

It’s safe to say that Colgate should’ve stuck to toothpaste. The dental care brand made a brief foray into into foods, introducing a frozen lasagna TV dinner in the 1980s.
