I thought I could substitute my second coffee today with a bar of chocolate and now I have a splitting headache. In the end, coffee always wins.
1. Space is the urge that happens to you when you have too much money so it only makes sense that this startup wants to know if we can have babies up there.
2. Ghost stories may well have proliferated in the 19C because of the excess carbon monoxide from gas lamps — low-level poisoning can cause hallucinations and dread.
3. Since we’re all so addicted to our microwaves, someone created the Foldwave, a collapsible microwave that turns into a portable carry-case.

5. Long misunderstood, the baked beans are busting loose. I always knew they could!

7. Restaurants In Peace. Leave a remembrance message for restaurants now gone but never forgotten.

9. How to give a kidney and why you might want to donate yours. The surgery carries a 1 in 10,000 mortality risk; no problem! But the pre-op CAT scan carries a 1 in 660 mortality risk, so ask for an MRI. No known risks to longevity. You sleep through the surgery. You wake up feeling fine (except for the catheter). You get a call to say that your kidney has saved a stranger's life. You feel wonderful.
10. The rare glass octopus! Sightings like these are so infrequent that scientists previously resorted to studying the species only after pulling it from the stomachs of its predators!
11. Research shows that people on average tell 1.08 lies per day, but that figure is likely skewed by "frequent liars". Lying on video chat is more common than lying face to face, but we all knew that already.
12. Every year, 120,000 people ask Google whether Sweden and Switzerland are the same country.
13. Image-generating tools won’t stop generating hotties.
14. We really have two noses (!!) and each one is lined with venous erectile tissue that has a similar structure to the erectile tissue in the penis, which can become engorged with blood, causing a stuffy nose!
15. The Succession guy drove his Rivian truck into a pizza parlour.
Final thought: Shouldn’t have to be said but, Kim K didn’t invent the nipple bra.
