Millions of Americans sleep in rooms on the second to the seventh floor. But home fire-safety ladders sometimes aren't long enough to provide an easy escape in case of emergency.

"If you have a result like this at a crucial moment," he said afterward, "it is beautiful." May Blessed...
With plenty of time for thrifty student travelers to book very early for spring break, the Durex condom’s Global Sex Survey, now in its seventh year, reports that “bedtime in Budapest is the most passionate.” Hungarians have sex on average 152 times a year, eclipsing the French, who were on top last year with 144 times a year...
