Chickens can do math

There's a new research study at some big university that shows that chickens are naturally able to do basic math. The really cool thing is they've done selective breeding on some and genetic engineering and stuff so some of their chickens can do more complex math. They think it's going to be the next big thing in the poultry industry.

Presidential picking team

My dad is part of the secret group that picks who gets to be the next president. It's decided in advance, so I know who it is going to be this time around, but I can't tell you because I don't want my dad to get in trouble.
