The most typical face in the world
The National Geographic Magazine revealed last year what the most typical person on the planet looks like, as part of their new series which focuses on the human race called ‘Population 7 billion’.
The research found that a 28-year-old Han Chinese male is the world's most typical person with 9 million around the globe.
Watch this video and check how similar to/different from the most typical person you are.
Are you richer? poorer? younger? older?

The day after
(sigh) You are awake, by the way. You're not having a terrible, terrible dream.
Also, you're not dead and you haven't gone to hell
This is your life now, this is our election now. This is us. This is our country. It's real.
