Slave to the rhythm
“Rats can recognise and move tothe rhythm of a beat,” according to a new University of Tokyo study published in the peer-reviewed Science Advances journal. “Only humans had previously been thought to innately possess the ability.” Researchers played Lady Gaga for rats.

Facial hair enthusiasts claimed to have set a new world record for longest beard chain during an event in the US last week. Participants gathered at Gaslight Social, a bar in the town of Casper, Wyoming, where they stood side by side and clipped their beards together to create a hairy chain that was measured at 150ft long, according to the newspaper. That’s more than double the Guinness World Record of 62ft, 6in, set in Germany in 2007. To participate, people needed to sport a beard at least 8in long.
