Story 1: Good News! Your Toothbrush Probably Isn’t Covered in Poop After All
“Toilet plume” is the term for tiny droplets that float around in the air after you flush the toilet. And we’ve heard those droplets can end up on your TOOTHBRUSH. But a new study at Northwestern analyzed the bacteria on 34 used toothbrushes. And almost all of the microbes they found are the type that live in your mouth, not in your gut.
Story 2: TSA’s Weirdest Catch Last Year Was Someone with a Dead Baby Shark
The TSA just released their annual list of their “top 10 catches” from last year. And while there’s the usual assortment of guns and other weapons, one item really stands out . . .
Someone tried to fly out of Syracuse, New York with a DEAD BABY SHARK floating in a container of chemical preservatives.
They confiscated it because the chemicals were too dangerous to be in the air. So if YOU want to bring YOUR dead baby shark on a plane next year, just do it without chemicals. Got it?

Hot ON TikTok: “Chance of Rain” in the Forecast Doesn’t Mean What You’ve Always Thought It Means
There’s a TikTok video blowing people’s minds right now . . . because it reveals that the “chance of rain” in a weather forecast doesn’t mean what we all thought. 30% does NOT mean there’s a 30% chance it’s going to rain . . . it’s based on a formula that multiplies how likely it is to rain by how much of the area the rain is going to cover.
@sydjkell #stitch with @sooklyn #ColorCustomizer I have toooo many of these. I’ll do another weather one. #embarassing #iwastodayyearsold
