Martial artists feel no pain

When it comes to a person's physical abilities, martial artists are some of the most extraordinary people in the world.

Grandma is a cheerleader

A 13-year-old girl is the CEO of a company that developed a lollipop that cures hiccups. I usually just burp until they go away.

A team of scientists has published findings on how to avoid spilling your coffee. Basically, don't fill your cup to the top and try not to bump into things. I wonder how they found someone to pay for that research.
