Researchers think Earth may contain 9,200 tree species that have yet to be discovered.

Do sweaty men turn women on? Informal office polls say no, but science tells a different story. Researchers (at the University of California, Berkeley) conducted a study that concluded a few whiffs of androstadienone — a pheromone found in male sweat and perfumes — can raise levels of the hormone cortisol in women. Cortisol is associated with stress, but also arousal and brain activation. The study offered the first direct evidence that humans, like rats and some insects, secrete a scent that affects the physiology of the opposite sex.

Just in case you were under the impression that the glory years for video games are firmly in the past, consider this: Microsoft has announced its plan to buy Activision Blizzard Inc. for $68.7 billion, acquiring a legendary game publisher responsible for Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. Microsoft’s largest purchase ever will help the software giant expand its own offerings for the Xbox console and push it into the fast-growing markets for mobile gaming and the metaverse. The deal, if approved, would make Microsoft the world’s #3 gaming company.

Guys, if your spouse often reminds you to shave down some of that ear hair, tell her you’re working on a world record. Yep, there’s a Guinness Book of World Records record for longest ear hair and it’s held by a guy in India (Anthony Victor) who grew it to just over 7.1 inches.

Farmers are often fans of a deep winter stretch cold enough to freeze the ground. As the soil freezes, it expands and opens. This expansion helps to transport nutrients throughout the soil as well as create an ideal planting situation in the spring. The human body, believe it or not, also is accepting of the colder weather. The body works harder to maintain homeostatic temperature levels. As a result, we actually burn more calories in the cold. Research also has shown that people tend to be more productive. Those who suffer from allergies will have no trouble in the bitter cold. Mold, grass, weed and tree pollen are all next to nonexistent in the thick of winter.

Data entry is the most hated office task globally, according to an Automation Anywhere survey of 10,000 workers. That's followed by managing email traffic, filing spreadsheets and PDFs into folders, and handling invoices. Workers spend almost 40% of their time facilitating digital administration, which lowers productivity. Such tasks – which are often automatable – are also behind half the employees leaving office late, the survey finds.

RadioTravelGroup.com PRESENTS... A NEWS HEADLINE... FROM SOMEWHERE IN THIS WORLD!

Dateline.... FRANCE

A leading French aquarium vendor has decided to stop selling round fish bowls because they say they drive fish mad and kill them. AgroBiothers Laboratoire will no longer sell any aquariums with a capacity of less than 3.9 gallons and only rectangular ones, as it believes putting fish in small bowls without filtration and oxygenation is animal abuse. Goldfish can live up to 30 years and grow to about 25cm in large aquariums or outdoor ponds, but in tiny bowls they often die within weeks or months. The company also says goldfish are social animals who need the company of other fish, ample space and clean water.

Flat Earthers are people who genuinely believe the Earth is, well, flat. Like a pancake. So someone on reddit asked as serious question of Flat Earthers: What’s on the bottom side of the disc? Unfortunately not a single Flat Earther responded. But people did have some fun comments about what’s on the bottom.

The cool side of the earth. If we flip everything over and move there, global warming won’t be a problem.
