The Headlines:
2% of People Think They Can Outrun a Horse
AI-Powered Dino Plush Is Listening to Your Kids
“Sneakerinas” Are the Next Big Thing
The Confidence? Wild. The Science? Not So Much.
A new “Running Swagger” poll asked 2,000 people which animals they thought they could beat in a sprint—and the delusion is STRONG.
2% think they could outrun a horse in a 100-meter dash. (Reminder: Horses hit over 40 mph. Usain Bolt tapped out at 28 mph.)
27% think they could outrun a crocodile. (They run up to 10 mph—so maybe, maybe, you’ve got a shot.)
20% believe they could beat an elephant. (Good luck with that. They can run 25 mph.)
11% are convinced they can outsprint a house cat… for 30 feet. (Bold. Very bold.)
Sometimes, confidence is the real winner.

Dino the AI Plush is Cute… and Kinda Creepy
Say hello to Dino—a $249 plush dinosaur with a built-in AI chatbot that listens to your kid’s every word. It’s being marketed as a “screen-free companion,” but let’s be honest: It’s a soft, cuddly surveillance device.
Made by Magical Toys, Dino connects to an app where parents can eavesdrop, review conversations, and see insights about their child. It tells stories, plays games, and promises to “boost creativity”… but also records everything.
So… bedtime stories and Big Brother in one huggable package.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
