24 Scientific Studies about Food
Scientists
study food because food is very important to all life. However, some of
the experiments that have been done about food are strange, different,
and something we certainly want to know about. For example, scientists
who did the research would like us to know that toast doesn't always
land butter-side down. Maybe it's just me- mine always lands
butter-side down. John Green tells us about 24 food studies in the
latest episode of he mental_floss List Show.

Grizzly Bears Flee America’s Classrooms Following Confirmation Of DeVos
This was reportedly prompted by the confirmation of DeVos as education secretary, who has suggested guns be allowed in schools, citing grizzly bears in the classroom as the reason.
Unbeknownst to the public, this is a major problem all across America and not just isolated to a few places like Alaska and Wyoming, so a comprehensive guns-in-schools policy is warranted.
The development is a shame say educators because – though some bears were undoubtedly there hoping to eat small children – the vast majority simply sought to improve themselves through learning.
“What we should be doing instead of this draconian policy of
bringing guns into public schools is developing a proper vetting program
for bears who wish to attend.”

Tet: The Vietnamese New Year
See a bunch of pictures (and a couple of videos) of the celebration, and read about some Tet traditions at Saigon For 91 Days.One of the main arteries for Tet festivities in Saigon is along the broad avenue of Nguyên Huệ. The road is shut off to traffic, and the center of the boulevard filled with flower sculptures and monuments. We visited on the actual day of the New Year (Jan 28th) and were immediately swept up in the street’s celebratory buzz. In the evening, thousands of people were crammed onto the street, and everyone seemed to be having fun.
It’s interesting to be introduced to a culture during its biggest holiday. Parties, music, traditions and fun? You couldn’t ask for a better first impression.
