All the interesting, odd anecdotes from around the world are here, in our news review.

3D printing school dinners

British scientists have created 3D-printed meals for a school in east London to inspire an interest in science subjects among young pupils.

Scientists from the annual Big Bang Fair, which promotes science, technology and math (STEM) subjects, worked with St Helen's Primary School in Canning town to create dishes such as geometric fish and chips, cauliflower cogs and a pie in the shape of the mathematical constant of 'Pi' as part of the project.

The meals, served during school lunchtime, followed a survey by the Big Bang Fair that found 71 percent of 11-16-year-olds think it is crucial to have access to this kind of technology at school not just in science labs and classrooms, but the school gym, playground and even the canteen, with 40 percent believing it will enable them to learn something while they eat.

New kits help find inner peace

The iconic children's toy maker Lego is now targeting adults looking to find release from the stresses of daily life.

The toy giant launched crowd-funded sets in which adults are invited to build the skeleton and customize with skin. The skin can be colored in after building and the fish even swims when you turn its crank.

Research by Lego showed that 91 percent of adults said playing improved their wellbeing, with 86 percent saying it made them more relaxed.

A spokesperson for the company said it has "a strong adult fan base" and says its adult sets offer "creative projects for adults allowing for a few hours of off-screen me-time".

Chechen boy does 4,105 push-ups in 2 hours 25 minutes

A 5-year-old boy from Russia’s republic of Chechnya reportedly set a record for most consecutive push-ups in 2 hours and 25 minutes but may have to repeat his feat for officials because he was watching cartoons in his first attempt.

Local media outlets dubbed Rakhim Kurayev the "Chechen Schwarzenegger" after he reportedly completed 4,105 push-ups in the allocated time.

The current national record is said to belong to a youngster from Elista in the republic of Kalmykia who completed 4,050 push-ups at the age of 5 in 2015.

The Mash Telegram channel reported that Kurayev had been denied the record because he had been "watching cartoons" while doing the push-ups.

"Rakhim has enough energy to do 4,000 more push-ups, I just hope the commission members have enough patience to count them all," Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Amazing acrobats leave Londoners gob-smacked

Unsuspecting commuters were presented a stunning show as a sensational acrobatic duo showed off their gymnastic flair and flexibility in several commuter hot spots in Central London and on the Underground.

The team of elite gymnasts wowed passers-by as they showed off their skills in a variety of athletic and daring moves.

The acrobats were commissioned on the back of new research from Nutri-Grain, which reveals that nine in 10 Brits experience a slump in energy levels by mid-morning, 92 percent find themselves craving a pick-me-up snack by mid-morning and one third of Brits regularly skip breakfast.

The phenomenal performance came from London-based acrobats Benjamin Jones and Abigail Mason, who together are trained in gymnastics, dance, contortion and martial arts, among other disciplines.

Britain's oldest twins

Phyllis Jones and Irene Crump, who live together in Stourport on Severn, Worcestershire, are set to become Britain's oldest as they celebrate their 102nd birthday.

The pair, who were born in 1916, have seen four reigning monarchs, 20 prime ministers and two World Wars.

The sisters claim eating lots of fish and two strong drinks at a time is the key to looking decades younger.
