• Balding men beware--the comb-over is the intellectual property of Frank and Donald Smith of Orlando, Fla. The two received U.S. Patent 4,022,227 for "a method of styling hair to cover partial baldness using only the hair on a person's head. The hair styling requires dividing a person's hair into three sections and carefully folding one section over another."

• Jillian Clarke, a senior at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, concluded that the "five-second rule"--that it's OK to eat a piece of food that's fallen on the floor if it's only been there a few seconds--is probably valid. Clarke found that even in areas with heavy foot traffic, microbial populations on floors were remarkably slight. But be wary if the floor does have a crud infestation: E. coli can colonize a gummi bear in less than five seconds.
