Weird but true

Your kid knows how to curse even before he knows his ABCs, according to a new book.

The book, "Holy S--t: A Brief History of Swearing," says kids' cursing "kicks off" at age 3 or 4.

It also notes that English speakers curse once in about every 140 words and that the middle class curses less than the rich, probably because the rich feel they are powerful enough to say whatever they want.

If you have the munchies, you've got to get to a restaurant somehow — even if you are 6.

Cops outside Detroit responded to calls of a car driving erratically on a highway and were shocked to find a 6-year-old boy behind the wheel.

A new study has found that frequent texters are also very shallow.

The University of Winnipeg found that students who sent more than 100 texts a day were also 30 percent less likely to say they wanted to lead an "ethical, principled life."

The study says the same goes for people who Tweet a lot, so if you want to be considered deep, better break out the parchment and quill pen.

This guy stands head and shoulders above the rest.

A British man named Stuart Kettell, 48, has raised nearly $50,000 to fight cancer by walking 500 miles on stilts over six months.

He also raised funds by sitting in a box suspended by a crane for a week.

Researchers have developed a good way to cure alcoholics: implanting a false memory of a bad bender.

The scientists were able to use hypnosis-like suggestive techniques, which work about 40 percent of the time, to seed a memory of a really rough hangover. The subject's friends pretend to remember the bad night, too.
