Conjoined Twins Abby & Brittany Hensel ( Video )
Abby Hensel and Brittany Hensel born March 7, 1990 in Carver County, Minnesota. They are conjoined twins, and just turned 16. See the Abby and Brittany Hensel conjoined twins video after the bump. So interesting!
They are two well-adjusted, vigorous and even athletic people whose complicated but high-functioning anatomy precludes separation. Abby and Brittany have a strong sense of self, with a balanced blend of being individuals, but work together.

Flat-earthers
Flat-earthers are people who believe, here in the 21st century, that the earth is flat. (Believers in a round earth are called globularists.)
And what about the fact that no one has ever fallen off the edge of our supposedly disc-shaped world? Mr McIntyre laughs. "This is perhaps one of the most commonly asked questions," he says. "A cursory examination of a flat earth map fairly well explains the reason - the North Pole is central, and Antarctica comprises the entire circumference of the Earth. Circumnavigation is a case of travelling in a very broad circle across the surface of the Earth."

World's oldest joke traced back to 1900 BC
The world's oldest recorded joke has been traced back to 1900 BC and suggests that toilet humor was as popular with the ancients as it is today.
It is a saying of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq and goes: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."
It heads the world's oldest top 10 joke list published by the University of Wolverhampton on Thursday.
