Quick Takes

Oddball occurrences

Grand attraction

A first of its kind Grand Canyon Skywalk cost the Hualapai tribe $30 million to build, but the tribe hopes to draw more than a half million tourists to the glass skywalk over the Grand Canyon in its first year of operation. The structure sounds frightening, but officials say the skywalk is strong enough to hold 71 Boeing 747s.

Little horse, big bucks

For a one-trick pony, Thumbelina puts on a pretty good show. Instead of jumping over fences, the fully grown 17.5-inch dwarf horse sneaks under them. But owners of the 5-year-old, 57-pound horse see big things ahead for Thumbelina. They hope to parlay Thumbelina's recent title of "World's Smallest Living Horse" from Guinness World Records into a charity moneymaker. So far, Thumbelina has helped raise about $10,000 for children's charities, but her owners hope to raise close to $1 million.
