Have you heard that formula feeding, maybe with a little of rice cereal in the bottle, fills babies' tummies for longer periods of time, allowing them to sleep longer? While it is true that formula takes longer to digest and hence stays in a baby's stomach longer, this unfortunately does not translate into more sleep for the mother. A research published in Pediatrics by West Virginia University discovered that whether mothers gave their newborns breast milk, formula, or a combination of the two, they all received the same amount of sleep and felt similarly pooped.

Noel Odell, an adventurer, was the first to uncover marine fossils on Mount Everest in 1924, proving that the Mount Everest area was formerly covered by an ocean. The summit's limestone and sandstone were discovered to be submerged sedimentary rocks produced roughly 450 million years ago. Geologists believe Everest has only been a mountain for around 60 million years, when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Eurasian Plate, generating the Himalayas. If that's the case, Mount Everest must be growing quicker than in the past, as it would only take around 2 million years for Everest to rise 8,848 meters at current rates of 4 mm/year.

For years, I had heard about the Canadian cuisine Poutine but had never eaten it. Despite having seen it on menus in the United States, I wanted to sample this Canadian cuisine for the first time in Canada. Poutine originates in the province of Quebec. It's made out of French fries, gravy, and cheese curds. I realize that doesn't sound very tasty (or perhaps it does). We were able to taste it at the first eatery that offered it in the area-Chez Ashton-during my Saint-Roch walking food tour in Quebec City. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it!
