The desk of the President of United States in the Oval Office is known as the Resolute Desk because it was constructed from the timbers of HMS Resolute which was trapped in the Arctic ice and abandoned in 1854. The desk was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Hayes in 1880 after it had been salvaged and returned to her as a gesture of peace and good will in 1856.

Sarah the cheetah is a feline phenom, setting the world cheetah speed record in the 100-meter dash — twice.
Sarah lives at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, and they recently clocked her chasing a stuffed dog across a field. She did it in 6.16 seconds.
The previous record of 6.19 seconds was set by a male South African cheetah named Nyana in 2001.
A few minutes later, Sarah broke her own new world record by making the dash again in 6.13 seconds without even breaking a sweat.

A frog can't empty its stomach by vomiting. To empty its stomach contents, a frog throws up it's stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of it's mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.
