History's Mysteries
The Incredible Powers of D. D. Home --- This one isn't really news, just an article about a historical medium (or magician...it's not exactly clear). I'm surprised he's not more famous, and the article questions whether or not he would have been more famous if he had actually portrayed himself as a magician instead of a medium. Being a "professional house guest" doesn't sound too bad though.

7 Side Effects of Drinking Diet Soda --- I've long thought that artificial sweeteners (as well as a lot of other chemicals with weird names that are put into foods and beverages) were unhealthy. The artificial sweeteners are actually more unhealthy than the sugars. And ironically, a potential side effect of drinking drinks with artificial sweeteners is obesity. Oh...and they taste nasty.
