#5Things: Girl with the longest legs, woman barred from flight, student gives birth in exam, and more
Do not start your day without knowing these five things.
1. Superman Trump
Following Donald Trump’s release from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last week, he gave a statement from the White House where he was seen wearing a surgical mask. Now we heard that Donald Trump reportedly wanted to appear frail and sick and then rip his suit off, appearing in a Superman suit. We are really living in a South Park episode.

2. You can now book your driving licence renewal by phone
In a bid to curb long queues at driving licence renewal centres amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the city has launched a pilot project where people can now book a spot by phone. Durban metro police spokesperson Parbhoo Sewpersad said that the project will be piloted at the Verulam Driving Licence Testing Centre. Book online or on an app - Nope? We are now just 20 years behind the rest of the world.

3. Girl with the longest female legs
A Guiness World Record video had people in a tizz over the weekend after a photo of a 17-year-old girl from Texas, named Maci Currin, was posted. She now holds two records: One for the longest female legs and another for a teenager with the longest legs. Although she is 6 ft. 10 (Just over 2 metres), her legs account for 60% of that length, i.e. just over 1.3M long.
4. Woman kicked off flight because of her outfit
Southwest Airlines apologised to a 22-year-old woman who was barred from boarding a flight to Chicago for wearing a "lewd, obscene, and offensive" top. Kayla Eubanks was just wearing a black halter top and kicked off her flight for fear of “Offending other passengers”. She was allowed to board after borrowing a T-Shirt from the captain.
She tells the whole story in a Twitter thread below.
Y’all I was KICKED OFF my @SouthwestAir flight because my boobs are “lewd, obscene and offensive.” I was told that passengers may look at me in my attire and be offended. The attire in question: https://t.co/tOAxZsFDU5 pic.twitter.com/S9W9gFXpg6

5. Student gives birth during exam
Brianna Hill, a recent graduate of the Loyola University School of Law in Chicago, knew she would be pregnant during her bar exam for law, but she wasn't expecting a huge curveball in timing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking the bar exam is hard enough, but she took it to the next level by having a baby in the middle of the test. Hill hasn't received her bar exam results, but she already has a job lined up.
