Yesterday, nearly nine in 10 (88%) UK Twitter users heard news about the Royal Baby in their Twitter feeds, making the birth of the third in line to the throne the biggest ever news event recorded on SoMA, YouGov’s social media analysis tool.News that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, had gone into labour in the early hours of Monday morning pushed Twitter activity about the as-yet unnamed Royal Baby boy to 75% - up from just 24% who heard about the Royal progeny the previous day.

A study found that less than a third of women return to their pre-pregnancy fitness level one year after giving birth. After all, our body does the incredible act of growing a human for 9 months, which certainly modifies it in many ways.

Looking to learn a few new words to add to your vocabulary? How about bringing some old English words back into regular circulation? As our language evolves to incorporate new words like chillax, freegan and lol (yes, even that last one has creeped into the dictionary), we lose some beautiful old English words along the way.

An endless supply of support, respect, and kindness with a whole lot of patience and love. The bond between mothers and children is more than just a genetic link. Cheering us up, listening to our thoughts and doubts, teaching us how to love ourselves, and being there for you 24/7 takes a lot of effort. But moms are our superheroes. If they manage to become our lifelong friends, this can be one of the greatest joys on the planet! Bright Side dove into the mother-child relationship topic to see what signs are indicative of the special friendships between them.

Like all muscles, our brain needs training and optical illusions are a great way to make it sweat. While most optical illusions test your brainpower by making you see things that aren’t there, some illusions will play tricks on you by hiding things from your eyes. We at Bright Side created a new collection of optical illusions with hidden animals to let our readers challenge their brainpower. If some of them are too difficult to solve, try to squint, or scroll your screen up and down. 1.
