Swedish researchers set up honey water feeding stations in a massive wind tunnel and used fog, lasers and high speed cameras to track exactly how the bats flew. They found that when the bats flapped their wings downward they created tiny air cyclones above the wings called a leading vortex which pulls the animal upward and allows them to hover in place without expending nearly as much energy as simply flapping their wings. Without this trick they would not have the strength to hover in place in order to feed as the vortex provides as much as 40 percent of the lift force which keeps the bats in the air. The bats used the thumbs and fingers embedded in the skin membrane of their flexible wings much like flaps on an airplane to alter the curve of the wing and create the lift force necessary to hover.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Lil' Wayne and Nivea Are Back! Rihanna...

How can a ghostwriter have a name like Famous? LOL. I can say that I don't believe that one, because I feel that AG offers those distinctly Jay-Z nuances that only he does. And secondly, I don't care if he employed a ghostie…I like the album so much that it doesn't matter! Shout out to Wendy and Charlamagne. (Look for the video below for where the rumor started.)

On this rumor, I am going to let you all decide who this young man is talking about. I am going to give you all that you need. A letter and even pictures of the guy…who is his father? Here are the hints: his daddy isn't a rapper, but once had a link to Diddy.
