Although they all made the top five in the British Medical Journal's poll of favorite medical breakthroughs, the number-one choice was sanitation.

Officers investigating the cause of a Jan. 10 fire at an office building in West Virginia have revealed the possible culprits of the blaze - birds. According to authorities the reason to single out the unusual suspects stems from a huge nest, littered with dozens of cigarette butts, that was found in the attic of the building. Fire Marshals believe that a pigeon or another kind of bird may have carried a burning cigarette butt into the attic of the Ratcliff Place that eventually led to fire.
