To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a cat serving a mouse! 😄
Some 3,000 years ago, the artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad for this fun scene.

Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.
There is no evidence (in 80 years of deception research) that language cues to deception manifest themselves in verbal & nonverbal behaviour. Articles like this perpetuate myths that creep into law enforcement and judicial systems and lead to miscarriages of justice.

In 1866, the topic became so controversial that the Société de Linguistique de Paris banned discussions about language origins altogether.
Every single one of the 599 refugees the US admitted last month was a white South African, according to data the State Department’s Bureau of Population released last week.
Surprise, surprise.
We are in dangerous territory as courts encourage jurors to discern untruth from body language. In fact, the words are far more revealing, says communications lecturer Kirsty King
