Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. |

Chickens lower on the pecking order that sleep at the ends of the roost keep one eye open for predators while closing the other eye and half their brain to sleep. They will turn and use the other eye in order to let the other half of their brain sleep.
The chickens in the middle can sleep with both eyes closed. High pecking order has its advantages. |

"Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?"
