Scientists have found a new lizard called the Varanus Bititawa that is
a cousin to the giant Komodo Dragon. Of course, friends of the Varanus
already knew they were related because he brags about it all the time.
He’s constantly telling the story of the time they sunned themselves
on the same hot rock during thanksgiving. He can call him right now if

A Swiss adventurer, Bertrand Piccard, completed a two-hour test flight
of a solar powered plane this week. The plane doesn’t use any

Bertrand actually comes from a long line of adventurers. His father
Jacques went deeper into the ocean than anyone before him, his
grandfather Auguste was the first man to take a balloon into the
stratosphere and the women in his family have been the most patient on
Earth.
