Court Bans Overbearing Sister From Cleaning Brother's Room

A Spanish court has issued a restraining order against a woman, preventing her from entering her brother's room to clean it against his will. The unusual case stemmed from a long-standing family dispute, where the sister's obsessive cleaning habits clashed with her brother's desire for privacy and autonomy.
The brother, an adult, sought legal intervention after repeated attempts to stop his sister from entering his room and cleaning it without his consent. He argued that her actions constituted an invasion of privacy and caused him significant distress. The sister, on the other hand, maintained that she was simply trying to help and maintain a clean living environment.
The court sided with the brother, recognizing his right to privacy within his own living space. The restraining order prohibits the sister from entering her brother's room without his explicit permission.

"Planet of the Apes" Scare as 43 Monkeys Escape Lab

Forty-three monkeys escaped from a research facility in Louisiana, leading to a brief "Planet of the Apes" scare. The monkeys, used for experiments, managed to get out of their enclosure.

The incident prompted a review of the facility's security protocols to prevent future escapes.

The Benefits of Increasing Your Water Intake

A recent study systematically reviewed 18 clinical trials to determine the benefits of increasing daily water intake. The research suggests that increased water consumption can lead to greater weight loss and a reduced risk of kidney stones. Single studies also pointed to possible benefits in reducing migraines and urinary tract infection (UTI) risk, as well as improved control of diabetes and hypotension. While many recommendations exist regarding daily water intake, this study provides clear evidence of the positive impacts of upping your water intake.
