When Diana got engaged, she hit up its then-unknown designers, David and Elizabeth Emanuel, to create her now iconic gown with a 25-foot train and 10,000 pearls. It was stunning!

AI search engines get their sources wrong (paywall link). In a study, chatbots were asked to match news to the correct headline, publisher, date and URL. They almost never admit they’re unsure and just blurt out wrong answers like they’re completely right.

That’s how much less money the “Tooth Fairy” is giving out these days. A survey of 1,000 parents shows payouts dropped from an average of $5.84 to $5.01. Brace yourselves, I was lucky if I got a quarter! What do tooth fairies have on their phones? Bluetooth! (Share this one with the kiddos!)

4,000 mph

Speed the SR-72, a top secret hypersonic jet, is said to reach. The U.S. aircraft is anticipated to break the sound barrier this year at speeds exceeding Mach 6, making it the fastest plane ever.
