A Stony Brook University study forged since 2005 has revealed evidence that early hominids lived in tiny, separate bands for 100,000 years, and came incredibly close to extinction some 70,000 years ago.

In an attempt to break a world record for most hours flying using party balloons, a Brazilian Roman catholic Priest, suspended by 1,000 helium balloons, is now missing. His aim was to raise money to build a rest-stop church for truckers.
