I don’t know why I find this so cool, but Chris Null soaked a gummi bear in water overnight and it grew, just like those little animals that were oh so popular as a kid. Who knew you could do the same thing with a gummi bear?

I’ve become a regular listener of NPR and one of my favorite programs was Morning Edition with Bob Edwards. He impressed me as an interviewer that would consistently ask meaningful questions that I wouldn’t have thought of but wanted to know the answer to, and he did a superb job of presenting the news each morning. I’m sad to hear he’s leaving.

Thankfully, he announced in a letter to his listeners that he’s staying with NPR for the long haul. I’m glad to hear he’ll be around, but I’m going to miss listening to his show on the way to work.

Here is the official press release announcing his new assignment.
