- A new survey finds some Americans have gone as long as three months without having direct, face-to-face contact with another person due to the coronavirus pandemic.
- Six packs is not such a big deal after all — an Australian researcher that examined viewers’ responses to different male body types in advertisements found that an average-sized man is just as appealing as a bulked-up one. And the respondents in the (University of Queensland) study rated images of slender or slightly chubby masculinity at least as highly as those with well-defined six-packs.
WACKY-BUT-TRUE: FORMULA DRIVER USES PRO GAMER TO COMPETE FOR HIM IN ESPORTS _ Formula E (electric) driver Daniel Abt was disqualified and ordered to pay almost $10,000 to charity for getting a professional gamer to compete under his name in an official esports race. Organizers also took away all points won to date by the German in the Race at Home Challenge series. Lorenz Horzing, who competed for Abt, finished third in Saturday’s race. Abt later apologized: “I did not take it as seriously as I should have.”
WACKY-BUT-TRUE: WANTED MAN STREAMS OWN ARREST ON FACEBOOK LIVE _ A wanted Florida man was arrested in Daytona Beach, Florida, Friday after deputies were notified that he was streaming on Facebook Live. Timothy Munford could be seen as he streamed video of himself on Facebook as he drove to a jet ski rental place. He was about to get on one when deputies approached and arrested him. Both the man’s live broadcast and a deputy’s body cam captured the arrest. • VIDEO
WACKY-BUT-TRUE: 14 ROOT CANALS IN ONE DAY _ In Germany a dentist was ordered to pay a patient almost $8,000 in compensation after he got her drunk so he could do 14 root canal treatments in one day instead of over a period of weeks. The dentist gave the woman large glasses of cognac in between drillings, telling her it would take the pain away.
WACKY-BUT-TRUE: BURGLAR WAKES UP TO BULLDOZER _ In Hungary a guy was hungry — and broke into a small restaurant late at night. He ate some food, he drank some beer, he laid down for a nap. Was it the restaurant’s owners or the police who woke him the next morning? Nope, it was a bulldozer. The restaurant had been marked for demolition. The guy happened to break in after the owners held a demolition party.
WACKY-BUT-TRUE: MAN SWALLOWS KNIFE ON PURPOSE _ Doctors in China saved the life of a man who swallowed a three-inch knife to avoid charges of possessing a weapon. The man swallowed the knife eight months before and thought it had dissolved in his stomach, but doctors found it stuck in his trachea when he came in with a sore throat.

Fun Facts
✓ The odds of you existing are the same as 2 million people rolling trillion-sided dice and all landing on the same number.
✓ The phrase, “Happy wife, happy life,” is scientifically proven; husbands who have happy wives are more satisfied with their lives.
- According to a new study, women who have no children and who aren’t married are the happiest people of all. Not only that, but they’re more likely to live longer than married women with children. The research (London School of Economics) reveals that marriage and children aren’t necessarily going to make women happier. This flies in the face of common — though unscientific — wisdom that says women are most satisfied in life when they have children and a spouse.
