Great idea, except that my indoor cat hates all collars with a passion. Also I have an orange cat so you would never see the collar. And cat collars should be break-away anyway which means any cat that is outside long enough won't have one.
This is true of a lot of medieval items that didn't really exist. For instance the iron maiden and several other torture devices were basically made up based on mistranslations of medieval documents.
I'm fairly sure that the Millenium Falcon exterior used in Empire wasn't full scale, it was more like 3/4. The exterior set was about 60 feet across which is big, but not the 25 meters (80 feet) across cited in other works.
Ughh some of their suggestions are awful. Max and Ruby is every overused sitcom trope rolled into one, but with rabbits. Their parents are absent and it teaches your kids nothing. HATE.
Also Dora the Explorer is on their hate list, but it's a great show because it is interactive. Dora asks your kid to pay attention, listen, and respond. This sort of analysis of what they are seeing is an advanced concept that kids need to learn early. Also unlike almost every show of it's type, Dora actually has fairly slow pacing and long pauses so the kids can actually interact. It might be annoying in spots, but it is also brilliant.
Why do they all have to take lunch at the same time? It would be fairly easy for their electronic overlords to stagger the workers lunch breaks to prevent that sort of stack-up.
Sure, you can fly at supersonic speeds. But you’ll freeze.
Actually because the air will warm up significantly as it crosses the supersonic shock wave, you might cook not freeze. It all depends on ambient conditions and velocity.
"While the snow fell, the colonists quickly sawed lumber and built clapboard houses."
It's my understanding that the Pilgrims made heavy use of the empty Patuxet houses in the first winter. Plymouth was largely built using a Patuxet settlement wiped out by small pox.
If you look closely at the alien in To Serve Man, you'll notice it's Richard Kiel under that makeup. Kiel is better known as Jaws from the James Bond movies.
