WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE TWEETED ABOUT THIS STUDY?: Researchers have found that 40% of tweets are “pointless babble.”
THE BEST WAY TO SUCK DOWN SOME PIE: Just make yourself some “lollipop-pies.”
THIS HAS TO BE LONGEST AUTOPSY EVER: Scientists think they’ve finally discovered what killed Mozart way back in 1791 – strep throat. For those who still believe he was poisoned or died of some other disease, this news will be hard to swallow.
A COOL NEW WAY TO TREAT CANCER: Nano-bees sound like something straight out of a Michael Crichton novel, but they are the latest innovation in cancer treatment. Too small to see with a microscope, but capable of carrying large doses of medicine directly to infected cells without harming healthy cells. And they won’t just send one or two…they’ll put trillions of them in you. A little scary sounding, but super cool!
HOW TO EAT FOR ONE DOLLAR A DAY: An interview with two people who challenged themselves to go for one month and never spend more than a dollar per day on food. Study up now, because you might need this knowledge if this recession keeps up.
JUST NOT ENOUGH TO GO AROUND: A cool chart showing the ratio of jobs available to unemployed people in various cities. Only two cities have more jobs available than job seekers. It’s interesting that the top city is Washington D.C.; I wonder how many of those are government jobs.
