Throwing a cat out of a seven story window is lethal. If you throw a cat out of a window higher than seven stories, the animal will land on its feet and survive. This has to do with the time it takes for the cat to twist and turn in mid-air and how rigid its spine is during freefall.

Coffee that sits in the percolator for over an hour becomes bitter.

Green tea differs from black tea in the respect that the leaves used to make green tea (same ones as for black tea) are steamed after being picked and therefor do not ferment. This is why they lack tannine, an element that gives a rich flavor to tea, but also increases the caffeine level, making green tea healthier.
