...menu got an upgrade too. Obscene "super-size" choices were phased out (tub of soda, anyone?), and healthier options like apples and salads were added. The company changed its coffee blend; coffee sales have soared 70% over the past two years. Chicken McNuggets now consist solely of white meat, which has less fat and fewer calories than the darker-meat mix of old. When she first started taking her son to McDonald's, Angelica Orzco, a security guard in New York City, wouldn't touch the stuff herself. But these days she's a regular burger eater. "The beef...

Scientists saw the path of Neptune around the sun, and they saw that it wasn't quite following Newton's laws of gravity. And so either Newton was wrong - though he'd been right for hundreds of years, so why assume that? - or there was some other mass out there that they hadn't cataloged yet that was influencing the motion of Neptune. So that was the famous Planet X. And eventually, Clyde Tombaugh...
