• The Relevance of Christopher Comins in Modern Times By: Kevin JSmith - Why Christopher Comins became what he is not that relevant. What is relevant is the fact that the good that he is doing for the society is quite laudable. It takes years and sometimes centuries for a soul as noble and gentle as Christopher Comins to take birth on this planet.
• Is Food For Thought Fulfilling? By: Knight Pierce Hirst - U.S. sales of organic foods and beverages increased from $1 billion in 1990 to $20 billion in 2007. People are willing to pay more for organic products because they think they're healthier. Researchers at Copenhagen University disagree. In a study that included apples, carrots, kale, peas and potatoes, the researchers found organic produce doesn't contain more nutrients than non-organic produce grown with pesticides.
• Driving in Spain and the Trouble With Spanish Drivers. By: Daniel Major - Driving in Spain is a lot of the time pleasurable, smooth new roads with few fellow drivers to look out for, allowing one to take in the beautiful, changing countryside, but at other times it can also be a nerve racking experience, navigating bone shaking routes where you try not to blink in case you cause irreparable damage to body and machinery!
• Is It A Matter Of Taste? By: Knight Pierce Hirst - The four tastes humans are most familiar with are sweet, sour, salty and bitter. In 1908 a Japanese chemistry professor discovered a fifth - savory. Now a behavioral geneticist has discovered that mice have receptors that detect calcium.

By: Knight Pierce Hirst - While other companies curtail advertising spending because of the economic slowdown, Anheuser-Busch has initiated a $50 million campaign to promote its most popular brand - Bud Light.

The new ads have the tag line "Bud Light, the difference is drinkability".
• Is The Human Body A Body Of Information? By: Knight Pierce Hirst - A study done by the University of Michigan found that 51% of overweight adults and 33% of obese adults have normal levels of blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides.

• Is It A Sign Of Things To Come? By: Knight Pierce Hirst - In 1953 Dick and Mac McDonald used golden arches for a sign. They put an arch on both sides of their first, walk-up hamburger stand in Oak Brook, Illinois. When viewed from an angle, the two arches looked like the letter "M".
• How Embarrassing Was It? By: Knight Pierce Hirst - Embarrassment comes in all shapes and sizes. For example, police forces across the country use unmarked cars in undercover work. The Dallas police recently used a 2004 Infinity they'd seized in a drug raid. They used the car for 2 months before discovering $400,000 worth of cocaine hidden in hydraulically controlled compartments of the car. Obviously, their undercover work didn't include under their own cover.
• How Can We Cut Costs Without Bleeding? By: Knight Pierce Hirst - One way to cut the cost of living is to cut the amount of electricity we use.

• Who Rules The Animal Kingdom? By: Knight Pierce Hirst - It used to be thought that only chimpanzees, dolphins, elephants and humans could recognize their reflection in a mirror.
