10/20

1. Researchers have now filmed eagles hunting reindeer in Finland. They feel this might finally solve the mystery of why eagles never get presents from Santa.

2. Coca Cola saw profits rise, thanks to markets in emerging economies. Said a Coke spokesperson: “These people still have such low rates of diabetes – there’s so much room to grow!”

3. A new poll shows that most Americans think that Iran wants nuclear weapons. However most Americans also can’t find Iran on a map. Which means that if they do fire nuclear missiles at us, we won’t know where to aim when firing back.

4. Brazil has vowed to crack down on drug gangs in Rio de Janeiro before the 2016 Olympics. There were some protests, however, because this means the athletes will have to bring all their own drugs.

5. The Mexican city of Puebla is offering pink taxis driven by and for women. Many women were complaining that male taxi drivers sexually harassed them, and they want everyone on the street to join in too.
