A man who has ‘Britain’s largest penis’ says the accolade comes with a number of problems but he doesn’t plan on getting size reduction surgery.
Matt Barr, 40, a Cambridge university graduate, first realised he had a bigger penis (measuring in at more than 12 inches) than his peers during showers after PE at school.
But being so well-endowed has actually come with a whole host of problems, including difficulties while dating, and people getting the wrong idea during a
Antarctica’s largest ice shelf, buttressing a dozen major glaciers and slowing their flow into the ocean, may be surprisingly sensitive to warming.
Several thousand years ago, the Ross Ice Shelf and the glaciers feeding it thinned dramatically, causing sea level to rise. A new study, published April 23 in Nature Communications, suggests this was triggered by a rearrangement of ocean currents set off by a minor amount of ocean warming — just half a degree Celsius.
A massive survey of the cosmos is revealing new details of one of the most mysterious facets of the universe, dark energy. Intriguingly, when combined with other observations, the data hint that dark energy, commonly thought to maintain a constant density over time, might evolve along with the cosmos.
The result is “an adrenaline shot to the cosmology community,” says physicist Daniel Scolnic of Duke University, who was not involved with the new study.
Dark energy, an invisible enigma that
Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia. A barren corner of the country, with little that’s apparent to recommend it as a destination but endless sunlight and abundant salt water.
Nevertheless, Mohammed bin Salman, crown prince and de facto leader of the region, saw this rocky landscape and envisaged something epic: a series of futuristic developments, space-age cities, and luxury resorts. A desert ‘utopia’ named Neom that encompasses an area of around 10,200 square miles and includes 12 named projects, from industrial
Decked out with 40 restaurants and bars, the world’s largest cruise ship Icon of the Seas certainly caters to all passenger tastes.
And now, as the 1,198ft long vessel makes its way around the globe on its inaugural voyage, a spread of cruise goers have been offering a glimpse of some of the culinary delights on offer.
In a TikTok uploaded by @magic_vacations, travel agents Suzie and Lee Altpeter rate some of the bites on offer at the informal Basecamp
When Israel escalated its military operations against Gaza in October, Rahaf Othman was so distraught, she said, she “couldn’t think straight.” The 45-year-old Palestinian American, who teaches social studies at Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, Ill., recalled that she “started getting nightmares from my own experiences when I was in Palestine. I was functional at work, but barely functional. My brain was mush. I was getting traumatized every time I turned on my phone.”

The largest shark discovered to date — the monstrous Otodus megalodon — may have been a sleek, long-bodied leviathan.
A fresh look at the extinct predator’s fossilized remains suggests its body was many meters longer and possibly more slender than previous reconstructions, researchers report January 22 in Palaeontologia Electronica. The findings may offer better insights into the biology and lifestyle of megalodon, including how fast it swam or what it ate (SN: 6/27/23).
Reconstructing what ancient, extinct
The world’s largest ape vanished from Earth more than 100,000 years earlier than once thought, pushed to extinction as the environment around it shifted, researchers report January 10 in Nature.
The new extinction date comes from new analyses of fossils of Gigantopithecus blacki, as well as on the sediments of about a dozen caves in southern China where the ape once dwelled. Instead of dying out around 100,000 years ago, the ape was driven to extinction between 295,000
‘The landscape was an endless lush jungle all around us for three days straight.
‘I think what stayed in my mind the most was how peaceful and serene life is in the Amazon. People are humble and shy.’
These are the words of Mykolas Juodele, describing his three-day journey on a cargo ship through the depths of Peru’s Amazon rainforest. The goal? To reach the world’s largest city inaccessible by road.

TUCSON — Hot and dry air, perfused with a scent reminiscent of a warmed hair straightener, stuffed a hangar-sized room beneath the football stadium at the University of Arizona. The space, part of the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab, was dominated by a gyrating, carousel-sized furnace, fire truck red and shaped like a flying saucer. The swirling cocoon of a colossal light collector.
“It’s making 4.9 revolutions per minute,” says astronomer Buell Januzzi of the University of Arizona, raising his
