Click video below for original Chiquita commercial

Ever since the 1940s, when the original “Chiquita Banana” song first introduced this yellow tropical fruit to us, bananas have become a major staple in our kitchens. It’s almost hard to imagine a time when bananas were considered exotic (especially since we can now find them at every supermarket, gas station and coffee shop, every single day of the year).

Warning some videos following the “Chiquita Banana” song contain risque material

Neutrino Subatomic Particles Don’t Travel Faster Than Light–Einstein Was Right, Physicists Say

The final nail in the coffin may have been dealt to the idea that neutrino particles can travel faster than light.

The same lab that first reported the shocking results last September, which could have upended much of modern physics, has now reported that the subatomic particles called neutrinos “respect the cosmic speed limit.”

HOW LIFE WORKS

As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can’t remember where we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old acquaintance’s name, or the name of an old band we used to love. As the brain fades, we euphemistically refer to these occurrences as “senior moments.”
