The recent explosion of SpaceX’s Starship rocket might have seemed like a disaster — not the kind of result that should have prompted celebration from the SpaceX founder Elon Musk and his employees, who cheered what they considered a major “success”. But SpaceX wasn’t necessarily expecting the rocket — the most powerful and one of the most complex to ever fly — to emerge unscathed. Maybe that’s why many were amused when the company described the explosion on Twitter as a “a rapid unscheduled disassembly” — a cosmic-level euphemism if there ever was one.

Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey may want to call in a true detective for this one. After McConaughey suggested he and Harrelson could be half brothers, the “Cheers” alum weighed in on the possibility during his appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert”. He told the host that “there is some veracity to that thought, because we talked to Ma Mac, Matthew’s legitimate mother…and she goes, ‘I knew your father.’ As he explained, it was how McConaughey’s mother said it that caught his attention. Quote: “It was the ellipses I found a little troubling or interesting. ‘I KNEW your father.'”

Ernest Horsfall, who has seen 27 Prime Ministers and 5 British monarchs in his lifetime, said he was surprised and amazed at how many people wrote to him.

SIGNS YOUR CHILD IS “HIGHLY GIFTED”:

According to neuroscience experts…

Asynchronous development: Does your bright child struggle with simple tasks like tying shoelaces or remembering to brush their teeth? These are examples of asynchronous development — developing more quickly in some areas than others. It’s common for gifted children.

Emotional depth and sensitivity at a young age: Gifted children may experience more intense emotional reactions to the world around them. Example: They may have a hard time enjoying shows where a character is hurt or is sad. Many also have a heightened sense of justice and can experience frustration when they feel like a situation is wrong.

Existential questioning: Gifted children often have an insatiable curiosity, especially about the existential aspects of life. They may be more concerned about death, poverty, climate change and injustices than their peers, or ask questions like: “What happens when we die?” or “Why do bad things happen?”

Unique interests or a mature sense of humor: If your child is making high-level chemistry puns or studying transit maps of major cities, you might worry they are missing out on their childhood. But they may just have a more advanced understanding of a topic than others their age.

Underachievement in school: Gifted children have a need for constant mental stimulation. In school, they can be easily bored because they learn things faster than their peers. If school is not challenging for them, they may lose motivation.
