TIL a scientist named Doctor Claire Rind wanted to design a collision-avoidance system for cars, so she made locusts watch Star Wars while monitoring the reactions of their visual systems. A robot was programmed with the data obtained and was able to avoid collisions 91% of the time.

Researchers analyzed 730,000 IQ test results from young men entering Norway's compulsory military duty during the years 1970 to 2009 and found that scores declined by an average of seven points per generation, a clear reversal of test results going back approximately 70 years.
