We definitely have a wide range of vegetables to choose from, but new research shows that if you’re looking for maximum health benefits, you should include one in particular: watercress. This leafy green has been named the healthiest vegetable by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with a nutrient density score of 100 out of 100. And it beat the runner-up, Chinese cabbage, by more than 8 points. The next 3, in order are: Swiss chard, beetroot, and spinach.

It took Ridley Scott 20 years to return to the Roman Colosseum with “Gladiator II”, but he’s already planning his third trip to ancient Rome. When asked about a different next project, the 86-year-old filmmaker replied: “I’d rather get on into Gladiator III. There’s already an idea.” He added that he’s taking inspiration from “The Godfather Part II” for the next story. Gladiator II opens Nov. 22 and arrives 20 years after the first Gladiator film, which won 5 Oscars, including best picture and best actor for Russell Crowe.

The new “Gladiator II” trailer has dropped online, and with it comes a major reveal: ‘Lucius’, played by Paul Mescal is, in fact, the son of ‘Maximus’, Russell Crowe’s character in the first film, and not ‘Lucius Verus I’, as he was made to believe his whole life. The revelation has major implications for both films, giving heightened meaning to all of the Maximus lore shown in promos for the sequel so far. In the new trailer, his mother, ‘Lucilla’ (Connie Nielsen), reveals the news as he readies for a battle in the Colosseum, saying: “Take your father’s strength. His name was Maximus. And I see him in you.” LINK: https://youtu.be/Ts0N8swyWFI

SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

Men are most attracted to women in their 20s, says a report.

It’s not often that when the words “Facebook” and “mental health” are mentioned in the same sentence, it is in a positive way. But recently an AI working for Meta alerted police that a woman was about to commit suicide. The 23-year-old was distraught over what Indian media says were relationship issues, and uploaded a video that was similar to a suicide letter. She fastened a noose around her neck as she spoke. But as the clip was going viral, police received an automated alert from Meta AI that included the rough location of her phone. A female officer soon arrived and spoke to the woman, who eventually removed the noose. Reports say that police are now remaining in constant contact with her, to ensure she is safe.


A no-kill animal shelter charity was invited to start an inmate dog training program at the Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility last year—and now joy and fulfillment are being created on both sides of the leash. The ongoing program has helped the inmates to develop compassion and to comply with rules. Their task is to socialize the dogs and teach basic obedience that will get the fur-babies adopted more easily. Eight inmates at the Las Cruces prison are now caring for 4 dogs in the program. The inmates have become so devoted to their mission that they held a fundraiser to help pay for program’s costs. One of those involved in the program wrote “I am changed by this experience.” And so are the dogs: All but one that graduated from the program have been quickly adopted.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

A man who jokingly placed an ad offering to spoil couples’ weddings has turned his prank into a business. Spaniard Ernesto Reinares’ unexpected career shift happened after he posted an online ad reading: “If you have doubts or don’t want to get married and don’t know how to refuse, don’t worry…I’ll object to your wedding.” The self-proclaimed “wedding destroyer” continued: “Tell me the time, place, and date. For EUR 500 (US$550), I’ll come to your wedding and get it called off.” Things quickly turned serious when he was inundated with responses, so he made it his job, promising to “show up at the ceremony, claim to be the love of your life, and we’ll leave hand in hand.” He’s booked through the end of the year. Oh, and while 500 Euros is his going rate, the wedding crasher charges extra if he is attacked by angry guests – which does sometimes happen.

THINGS THAT ARE GETTING ‘OUT OF CONTROL’ THESE DAYS: (2 of 3)

Tipping Culture: Everyone agrees – but no one is doing anything about it. Why should you tip for counter service – or tip a self-checkout machine?

Subscriptions for everything: Remember when you didn’t have to give all your personal info just to watch a football game or visit a website?

Too many apps: Everything requires one these days. Good deals at stores, event tickets, parking…even a simple meal out, sometimes.

Too many ads: No one is safe. They take up half the screen, or you have to watch a video before moving on to the thing you went there for.

The Marvel Universe: Too many movies and constant TV shows turned the MCU into a convoluted mess. Do you even try to keep up anymore?

Blinding LED headlights: You can tell it’s a new car because your retinas are burning. Is this safe?

Artificial Intelligence: It’s becoming frighteningly common and pretty much unavoidable.

New slang: At one point, words like “cool” or “awesome” were radical, but at least those are legitimate words. “Bussin’” and “rizz” and “cheugy” just sound cheugy to me…

Movie remakes and sequels: See “Marvel Universe”, above…

Entry-level job requirements: Why would they ask that you have a degree or 2 for an entry-level job that pays next to nothing?

Sensational news: If every story is “breaking” and “sensational”, then none are. Please make your clickbait matter!
