Big dogs are more well-behaved pets.  Studies show bigger dogs usually have better behavior than small dogs, but it’s not because they’re inherently better animals; it’s because of humans. We tend to put less effort into the discipline of little dogs because we assume they can’t do as much damage- so larger dogs typically end up having better training.  (, )

Actor Anthony Perkins found out he had AIDS by reading it in a tabloid magazine.  Perkins, who played Norman Bates in Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’, was in the hospital in 1990 and had his blood tested for another illness. His wife suspects someone tested him for HIV and leaked the positive results to the Enquirer, which ran the story before he even knew about it. He died of AIDS two years later.  (, )
