Ziona Chana 67 is no ordinary man. He lives in South India in a four-storey house with his family. But this is not your ordinary family – it is the largest family in the world – 181 members to be exact. Ziona belongs to a sect which allows men to have multiple wives. He now has 39 wives, 94 children, 14 daughters-in-law and 33 grandkids! The house has 100 rooms and is run like a military camp. According to Ziona he is the luckiest man in the whole world. His reason for getting married was so he could look after poor and orphaned village women. One meal can see them pluck 30 chickens, peel 132lb of potatoes and boil up to 220lb of rice – and that’s just dinner!　(by Prof. Simon Smith)

The latest research into the Internet suggests it is changing the way that our memory works. Researchers from Colombia University said that when test participants knew the answers would be available on a computer, they did less well on memory tests. According to the research the Internet has caused us to change the way that we remember things. Most importantly, we seem to remember where the information is stored, not the information itself. In other words we are becoming skilled at organizing huge amounts of data, and the Internet has become similar to our very own external hard drive. However, they stress that this does not mean that we are becoming stupid, but rather that it is a strategy to keep up with the information overload.　(by Prof. Simon Smith)
