Coming in a World Near You

Andrée Seu is experiencing revival.

God bless her!

Praise God!

But I must confess I never would have expected to read it in World

I will write precisely one column on this, and one column is all it deserves. I have taken to wearing a head covering during worship. I expect one in a thousand readers follows this practice, so you might all be annoyed with me.

By the way, I found the cover ironic when side-by-next to the article:

US stops breeding chimps

OK, here’s the full headline:

U.S. stops breeding chimps for research

I wonder if it ever will be “US Stops Breeding Children for Research” — that would be terrific!

Bottle Science

Here’s the water bottle I took with me on my flight from Oregon to Arizona:

I took several swigs during the flight.

When we landed and I retrieved it from the pocket, I noticed it was caved in. So I took the above picture of it.

Can you explain it?

(It returned to normal shape when I opened it.)

Which One Weighs 1.5 Kg?

BBC reports:

Their mother, Nicole, was told to prepare for the worst when it was decided the best option would be for her to deliver the boys in the 29th week of her pregnancy.

Nicole and her husband Todd, who conceived through IVF, said their first weeks of parenthood had been nerve-racking.

Mrs Ryman said: “We’ve been on top of the world because we didn’t think we were going to have them both.

“We’ve had a few scares on the way but they are pretty well going forward now and I know I’m going to be able to take them both home.”

She is expected to take Byron home at the end of next week. Lincoln will stay in the hospital’s newborn intensive care unit for another month.

Dr Parag Misha, who has been looking after the twins, said about Lincoln: “The chance of survival I gave him was less than 30% because he was so small.

“Hopefully he will soon start gaining weight much more quickly and get nearer and nearer his brother.”
