A common fatty acid in olive oil, as well as many other plant oils, has been found to stimulate the body's production of new fat cells, creating conditions that could – over time – lead to more fat storage and unintended weight gain. Until now, weight gain linked to this fatty acid was attributed to the high calorie content of foods that it's found in.

There are no written Soviet records, no logs, no official drilling reports, and no confirmation that they'd lit it intentionally – but there's no disputing a ~100-foot (~30-m) deep, 226-foot (69-m) wide pit of relentless fiery fury that's been burning for around 50 years in the Karakum Desert of Turkmenistan.

Did anyone really think Nitecore was going to stop at 6,000 lumens? Well, full confession, we did think it might stop for a few more months, at least. But adding more output to its sleek, remote control-like EDC torch lineup seemed a certainty in time. And the time is now – the new flagship EDC37 launches a full 8,000-lumen strategical attack on darkness without growing but a couple ounces. No, that full power burst won't last long at all, but you will enjoy over seven hours of four-figure lumens, which should suffice in even Earth's darkest recesses.

Whichever way you cut it, a 5.4-m (17.8-ft)-long tiny house isn't going to feel palatial. However, thanks to some clever interior design choices, the Five Four does a good job of maximizing its limited footprint and even squeezes in two bedrooms.

Jackie Chan is one of the greatest stuntmen ever, mostly for his willingness to hurl himself into extreme danger and his ability to keep delivering his lines afterward – not to mention basically inventing the Kung Fu comedy genre. The man even has the Guinness World Record for the most film credits in a single film with 12 in Chinese Zodiac (2012). He's suffered enough injuries that he's been blacklisted by insurance companies, and he and his stunt crew pay for medical expenses out of pocket.

How do you improve upon a timeless design that's already the premier icon of its genre? Perhaps by pulling a little inspiration from an all-time master in an adjacent field. For Airstream, that master is none other than architect extraordinaire Frank Lloyd Wright. The all-new Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian trailer looks like a classic Silver Bullet outside but draws travelers in with a warm, organic multifunctional interior inspired by the architectural giant.

It's not a simple case of "follow the leader" when it comes to baboons on foot, traversing their home range. Based on prior research, scientists had a few theories as to why the animals fall into such structured formation and travel in what looks like an orderly line. But what they found was a surprise, and something that can help us better understand human behavior, too.
