A 25-year-old Romanian housewife could be getting a grand old honor: She’s believed to be the world’s youngest grandmother. The British tabloid The Sun reports that Rifca Stanescu had her first child, a daughter named Maria, at the age of 12. Although she urged the girl not to follow her example, Maria got in the family way when she was only 11 and gave birth to a son, Ion. Stanescu was only 23 when she became a grandmother. Ion’s now 2, and Stanescu has mixed feelings about being a grandmother at such a young age. “I am happy to be a grandmother but wished more for Maria,’ she said.

The Moon-Landing Hoax: Did Man Really Walk On The Moon?

By Delores Quinn

One Giant Leap of Faith

On July 20th, 1969, half a billion people gathered around televisions to watch the iconic, shadowy images of Neil Armstrong climbing down from the lunar lander to take mans first step onto the moon. The Apollo 11 mission was one of mankind's most awe-inspiring technological feats and captured the worlds imagination. But many people believe that the giant leap for mankind was really a historic hoodwink and that Armstrong never set foot on the moon. Instead, they claim the famed astronaut walked around a fake lunar landscape built on a massive Hollywood-style soundstage, a scenario that inspired the plot of the 1977 conspiracy film Capricorn One.

A Gallup poll in 1999 found that six percent of Americans doubt that the moon landings ever happened. A 2005-06 poll by space consultant Mary Lynne Dittmar found that 27 percent of U.S. 18- to 24-year-olds question the reality of the moon landings. And a 2009 survey in Great Britain found that one in four believe the moon landings never occurred.

World's 20 Most Painful Cities To Drive

From commute times and stress levels to price of gas and anger outrages, here are the world's worst cities for driving.

So, your commute is pretty bad, huh? It takes you three minutes to get out of your office parking lot, eight minutes to reach the highway and another 45 to snake along to your exit. As you sit and listen to another damned FM play of the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," it dawns on you: it gets no worse than this. Of course, such exaggeration is a business Canadians excel in. Almost always, traffic-jammed commutes are rough, yes, but they often pale in comparison to the workaday travels of bigger, more gruelling cities. To set the record straight, IBM recently issued its annual Computer Pain Survey, which uses a variety of measures* to determine the world's most maddening commutes. Click through to find the world's 20 worst cities to drive, and take a guess at which Canadian towns make the cut.

*Consumer Pain score accounts for ten issues: 1) commuting time, 2) time stuck in traffic, agreement that 3) price of gas is already too high, 4) traffic has gotten worse, 5) start-stop traffic is a problem, 6) driving causes stress, 7) driving causes anger, 8) traffic affects work, 9) traffic so bad driving stopped, and 10) decided not to make trip due to traffic.

Just a day ago we were reminiscing about that time former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into the law the most sweeping curbs on greenhouse gases in the country, rules that drive the federal government's march toward a 54.5 mpg average by 2025.

Ten Real-Life Werewolves in Human History

Let’s admit that we’ve all heard stories about werewolves and have been scared breathless in our childhoods. Now that we are all grown up we know they don’t exist but we have seen then in movies, read novels about them. They are pretty cool.
