Here's the Top Ten...

❿ The first flying car airport in the world is in the UK...

-  it's kind of a Pop-Up airport because they wanted to show how fast a  flying car airport could get up and running (built in 15 months)

-  it's a 3 hour drive away from the city (I thought we'd be landing our  flying cars in our own front yards so this is disappointing)

❾ Space Murder now against the law for Canadian Astronauts...

In  a disappointing turn of events for anyone who hoped to be able to get  away with space murders, would-be space assassins now cannot murder  people in outer space without repercussions.

Until now There  was a loophole in Canadian law which, in theory, meant that Canadians  who committed a crime while in space or on the moon, might not be not  subject to earth laws.

❽ Weird Mars lights...

Notes:

- scientists have known about Weird lights on Mars for years

-  this new discovery is just way bigger than they've seen before and they  say it looks a little like an enormous snake twisting up from the  planet into the sky

- it's thousands of miles long

❼ another new Coke flavor that tries to assign a certain taste to  something intangible... The new release is flavour aimed at gamers and  they call it called Coca-Cola Byte.  It has a fruity flavor.

❻ Reminder: We live in a world where someone can lose 13 billion dollars  in an afternoon and still be one of the richest people in the  universe...

That's what happened to Jeff Bezos. Amazon stock  lost value, so he lost 13 billion in an afternoon the other day... he  lost more than that overall as the stock kept moving, but the 13 Billion  in an Afternoon had a ring to it and a lot of news outlets went with  that headline.

❺ Our shortest story ever - the most popular emoji is...

The Laughing-and-Crying emoji. 😂

The Guinness Book of World Records folks shared that this week...

❹ The dog who ate a lady's passport just before she was supposed to travel to someone's wedding...

- sure, blame the dog

- dog's name is Prince

- it looks like the lady (Sophia) will miss her friend's wedding in Cyprus and lose over £800... so now I believe her

❸ Who falls for Fake News? Not you, right?

A Study this week that took a look at Fake News had a couple surprises...

Notes:

- older people are no more likely to fall for fake news than any other age category

❷ College grads are guessing wrong about starting salaries...

Notes:

- People graduating from college in the US THINK that they'll be making an average salary of ~ $103,880 for their first job.

I say aim big, college grads!

❶ NHLer Louis Domingue is the backup goalie for the Penguins. Their playoff game went into overtime the other night... Louis wasn't playing... so he ate some spicy pork... then, moments later the starting goalie got hurt and Louis had to go in the game... Penguins won the game thanks largely to Louis and the spicy pork he ate
