  Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance – unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal […].

Teenage girl who died of cancer wins right to be cryogenically frozen  

  A 14-year-old girl who said before dying of cancer that she wanted a chance to live longer has been allowed by the high court to have her body cryogenically frozen in the hope that she can be brought back to life at a later time.

  The court ruled that the teenager’s mother, who supported the girl’s wish to be cryogenically preserved, should be the only person allowed to make decisions about the disposal of her body. Her estranged father had initially opposed her wishes. 

  During the last months of her life, the teenager, who had a rare form of cancer, used the internet to investigate cryonics. Known only as JS, she sent a letter to the court: “I have been asked to explain why I want this unusual thing done. I’m only 14 years old and I don’t want to die, but I know I am going to. I think being cryopreserved gives me a chance to be cured and woken up, even in hundreds of years’ time”.

  There were lots of stuff in Friends that people had missed the first time, only for it to be rediscovered 12 years after the series finale.

Researchers study how to stop people dying while taking selfies 

  People dying while taking selfies has become such a common phenomenon that researchers are now working on how to stop it. Yes, humanity’s pursuit of the perfect clifftop duckface has really got that bad. 

  In the first eight months of 2016, there were already 73 deaths confirmed linked to selfies. That’s already much more than the 39 deaths in the whole of 2015, and 15 in 2014. 

  Selfie deaths are increasing at an alarming rate, and it seems that common sense is not going to be enough to stop this.
