At Popular Science, we report and write dozens of science and tech stories every week.

And while most of the stuff we stumble across makes it into our articles, we also find

plenty of weird facts that we just keep around the office.

So we figured, why not share those with you?

Welcome to the weirdest thing I learned this week from the editors of Popular Science.

I'm Rachel Feldman.

I'm Perbita Sa-ha, and I'm Sarah Kylie Watson.

So on the weirdest thing I learned this week, we start by each offering up a little tease

about some kind of fact or story that we found in the course of reading, writing, reporting,

etc.

And then we decide which one we just absolutely have to hear about first.

Then once we've all had time to spin our little science yarns, we reconvene and decide

with the weirdest thing we learned this week actually was.

Sarah Kylie, what's your tease?

So I am here to talk today about the day that cats flew.

Exciting day for cats.

I'm poor.

I would imagine.

I don't know.

Maybe actually maybe cats would hate flying.

Sad, dark day in cat history.

Perbita, what's your tease?
