Teen Polyglot Has Mastered 23 Languages
New York teen Timothy Doner, has an unusual hobby - He likes to learn languages! And not the way most of us do to get through basic school requirements, but thoroughly enough so that he can conduct a decent conversation. Over the last five years, the 17-year old has been able to master 23! While this has earned him the title of the world's youngest polyglot, he is still not satisfied.
Video Of The Week - Why Astronauts Never Shed Tears
Though it is common knowledge that lack of gravity makes life in space a tad different from that on earth, very few of us ever think about how different.

Can Red Wood Ants Predict Earthquakes?
While ants may appear to be just pesky insects whose sole purpose in life it to annoy humans, they are in reality, quite amazing - They can survive the biggest floods by morphing into living rafts, find their way anywhere, thanks to a built-in GPS and now it turns out, may even have the ability to predict earthquakes - Something the world's best brains have been unable to do, so far!Earth Day 2013Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 1:24 am
