You shrug and put down the phone. Time to go to sleep. You wake up holding something in your hand. Your smartphone. Weird. You clearly remember putting it on the bedstand. You unlock it, and a post similar to the one yesterday pops up at once. “Thousands of people unable to put down their devices.” What’s that, some prank gone out of control? You press the screen lock button but nothing happens. You press it several more times, still to no effect. And then you realize you can’t move your eyes away from the screen...

Do you know that feeling after a long day when you think, if only I was a bird, I could fly away from all this hard work? But some animals work way harder than people do. And while we humans get a choice, of having to work hard or not, most animals have no option. There’s just no time to rest if you want to survive in the wild! So what are the hardest working animals?

For example, whether the honey bees like it or not, nature has made them into real hard workers. Every single hive is like a big, busy corporation, where every single bee has a special role to play. Earthworms spend their entire lives making tunnels in the soil. As for ants that have a reputation for being the most hard-working creatures in the world, they are ... real experts at being lazy! But the most amazing thing about these slackers is that they’re actually doing the right thing!

One little mystery that can change our whole idea of human evolution makes this little clay doll so unique.

The Statue of Liberty was created by the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. It took over $500,000 to build the Statue and the pedestal. In today’s money that’s about $10,000,000. The original plan was to get it ready by 1876, but the construction process turned out to be so complicated it took way longer than planned. The Statue arrived from France on June 17, 1885, in over 300 separate copper pieces.

Btw, did you know that the Statue of Liberty nearly didn’t get built, and it could have ended up in Boston? In 1983, it disappeared for a few moments. And it hasn’t always been green.

From Monday through Saturday, at 5:16 P.M., a train takes off from Leeds and heads for the small English town of Snaith. At first, the cars will be jam-packed with people – the usual rush hour of a decent-sized city like Leeds. But with each stop along the way, you’ll notice fewer and fewer passengers on the train.  Once you get to the final stop 55 minutes later, there will be no one else besides you. You get off the train at a station that’s equally as deserted. There are no vending machines or ticket offices, no parking lots, no taxies. It’s as if time has stood still. It’s quiet…and eerie.
