	Run for your lives, bees. Run. It seems that the Environmental Protection Agency is out to get you.
Looking for a fun place for your next holiday? Why not try Chernobyl?
	Just in case there aren’t enough reasons to become a mathematician, the world threw this my way this week. You’ll never look at Taylor series the same way again.
It was a normal student holiday. Go to China. Help some earthquake victims. Discover a new species. Kids do this sort of thing all the time, right?

	Like to run on treadmills, but sad that you’re stuck in one place as you do so? You might think that the answer is to go for a run, but you’d be wrong. Instead, get yourself a treadmill that moves as you run. Kind of like running, but you can fall off.
An important fact to remember: There are real people on the other end of this Internet.
	Want to boost your immune system? Go look at some sick people.
The strangest thing about this infographic? The most commonly stolen car in the US is a 1994 Honda Accord. Why would you want to steal a 17-year-old car? #2 is a ’95 car. And #3? The ’89 Camry. Over 20 years old! Crooks is crazy.
	The best Venn diagrams the Internet has to offer.
Rugby. On ice. In Antarctica.
