Dr. Barbara Sherwood Lollar drank water from the oldest undisturbed water cache ever—1.5 billion years old. She said to the LA Times that 'it tastes terrible [...] You would definitely not want to drink this stuff.' It's not surprising, knowing it's 'viscous and turns kind of orangey' when exposed to air.

Did you know that there never was a balloon in Around the World in 80 Days? And that the Nautilus wasn't powered by atomic energy? You can blame Disney for establishing those lies as "fact"—but not for the other four big misconceptions about Jules Verne, one of the best writers of the 19th century.

12-year-old Malcolm Brickhouse, Jarad Dawkins and Alec Atkins are Unlocking the Truth, the Brooklyn-based metal band that's taking over New York and everyone on the internet except the dumb kids who taunt them at school because they don't like hip hop like the rest of the hive. I don't like metal, but they rock.

Point being: it doesn't make sense.

Did you know that you can easily tell your puppy when to pee or poop using a simple reward-baed training? It's actually quite simple, as Manhattan-based dog walker Lauren Wojcik explains here.

If you have an iPad for fun you can easily use it to make your work computer better and more productive. The iPad can work as a secondary display, a keyboard shortcut machine to quickly access your computer's programs and functions, a trackpad, a remote control, or even to access it through the internet. Here's how.

The Supreme Court has ruled that states can't ask for US citizenship proof, striking down a 2004 Arizona state law in a 7-2 vote. From now on, would-be voters only need to sign an statement saying they are citizens and provide with a photo identification method such as their driver's license.

Answering The Guardian readers' questions, Prism whistleblower Edward Snowden claims that more details are coming no matter what happens to him: "All I can say right now is the US Government is not going to be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me. Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped."

Fascinating: "Psychologists now believe that a person's capacity for self-control (on an everyday level) is finite. After a certain amount of willpower is used up on one difficult task, there's nothing left over to get other things done." It's called ego depletion—or a good excuse not to clean the dishes after dinner.

Apple says that the government obtained data from 9,000 to 10,000 devices as part of investigations on "robberies and other crimes, searching for missing children, trying to locate a patient with Alzheimer’s disease, or hoping to prevent a suicide." The company also claims it doesn't chat messages or videoconferences.

Count the sets: 367 are plain Lego (the count goes higher because I'm not taking into consideration the hard to find sets). 148 are licensed from movies (including some in the hard to find sets).

Let's talk facts and not perception. This is the same when people complain about Lego sets now made of "special pieces" while in fact there are less kind of pieces now than in the 90s.

According to Deadspin's Timothy Burke—who reportedly has never wore a swimsuit and high heels on a catwalk—Miss Utah gave the worst answer in a Miss USA beauty pageant since Miss South Carolina: "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

But still, the faces are poorly designed.
