Boxer Wladimir Klitshko auctioned his Olympic gold medal to raise money for underprivileged Ukrainian children.

He raised $1,000,000.

The buyer immediately returned the medal to Wladimir as he wanted it to remain in the Klitschko family.

Although they are still susceptible to death by disease or attacks, lobsters can theoretically live forever because getting older does not raise their chance of dying. An enzyme known as telomerase prevents the DNA in lobsters' cells from being damaged as they are replicated.

"Wine has all kinds of fun facts surrounding it. Did you know, in 1976, there was a wine tasting in Paris that blindly compared Californian wines to French wines. California won and the lone reporter covering the event was blacklisted for reporting it. That event, also known as the Judgement of Paris, became a movie in 2008, called Bottle Shock. It’s a great movie starring Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman and really worth seeing".
