Donny Osmond really is “Sweet and Innocent.” In a new interview, the Osmonds singer, who is 65, claims that he has never uttered a curse word in his entire life. Why? Quote: “Because I never heard my father curse. He was tough, but he never swore.” When pressed, though, Osmond admitted “There are certain people I would love to say certain words to at certain times, but I just think, ‘Be like your dad.'” And when that happens, the ‘Puppy Love’ singer said: “Obviously I still think the words!”

Research shows marijuana smokers tend to be skinnier.

A dietician says the cure for a hangover is sitting right there in your grocery store. And it’s not a greasy bag of chips and a Red Bull. Lucy Kerrison says kombucha and kimchi are key to getting rid of the pounding headaches and the stomach-churning the morning after hitting the town. The fermented products promote better gut health due to their probiotic content. Quote: “We know the liver is responsible for alcohol metabolism, so looking after your gut health and liver can have a positive impact.” She says the salt content helps with water retention, and fermented foods such as kimchi also contain live bacteria which can have a positive impact on our gut microbiome, something which can be damaged with excess alcohol consumption. Fermented drinks such as kombucha are also believed to help control blood sugar and soothe symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

In Florida, they’re building things — out of real-life LEGO bricks. Construction firm Renco USA says its intuitively-made building blocks that work just like LEGO bricks are really catching on in the industry. The interlocking blocks can be quickly and quietly assembled into walls, floors, and even roofs, using only a special adhesive and a rubber mallet. That’s it! No heavy cutting, welding, or masonry is needed on the job site. No cranes needed, and those installing plumbing, ventilation, or electrical work can treat the finished block walls like normal concrete. The company uses process similar to injection molding to take the blocks, made of a mineral composite, and turn them into a variety of shapes, from the standard LEGO bricks to roofbeams and joists. In Palm Springs, a $21 million, 96-unit housing complex is being built by just 11 workers.
