That’s the age of the youngest-ever Mensa member. To qualify, you need an IQ of at least 132, which puts you in the top 2% globally. Joseph said his first word at 7 months and read his first book out loud by 1¾ years. By 5, he’ll be building an AI bot to replace his parents.

That’s how many times people visited Zillow in just three months. Why? Because daydreaming is cheaper than buying. Only 4 million homes were actually sold last year, but that didn’t stop everyone and their mom from house-hunting from the couch. Zillow’s not just a listing site; it’s the new social media, where “cozy” means claustrophobic and “as-is” means “run.” When it comes to board games about buying real estate, Hasbro really has the Monopoly.
