Cats once delivered mail in Belgium.

In the 1870s, the city of Liège, Belgium, attempted to employ 37 felines as mail carriers, according to the BBC. Messages were tucked into waterproof bags that the kitties would carry around their necks. However, while one cat apparently made it to its destination in under five hours, the other felines took up to a day to complete their journeys. Due to the fact that the cats weren't particularly reliable and definitely weren't speedy, the service didn't last very long.

Actor Bill Murray uses a 1-800 number instead of an agent or manager.

Bill Murray is famous for starring in movies like the original Ghostbusters (1984) and Groundhog Day (1993). But anyone in Hollywood who's interested in working with him must first navigate a somewhat strange situation in order to get his attention. That's because the star uses a mysterious 1-800 number instead of an agent or manager.

"You just call the 1-800 number," filmmaker Theodore Melfi, who directed Murray in St. Vincent (2014), told USA Today. "You have to record the message and send the message. I started calling once a week … He never called back. I finally called his lawyer and said, 'I'm trying [to] reach Bill.' And he goes, 'What number do you got?' And I go, 'I've got the 800 number.' And he goes, 'Well, that's what I got.'"

And if your job isn't the same as, say, Chrissy Teigen's, rethink the micro-sized bottoms for something far more forgiving.

Chain Wallets

If you're gonna wear a chain wallet, you may also well pair it with your JNCOs, too. But you're not going to wear either—besides, you don't want anyone to have access to your ID, credit cards, and the like just by swiping at your waistline.
