Babies on drugs?

World Burping ChampionshipsK

Kids love to burp. You may think that burping hobby will die out after childhood, but a new competition may allow kids to take their burping dreams into their adult lives.

Everyone knows pop sensation Adele has a powerful voice, but maybe you didn't know it was this powerful. A young girl in the US awoke from a coma this week after Adele's song came on the radio in her hospital room.
