- Planning on traveling to Florida for the winter, you’re not alone! Like snowbirds, there’s another group that’s moving to Florida for the winter: sharks. Shark experts say the coast of Florida is starting to heat up with great white shark activity. OCEARCH, a research group, says the annual migration to warmer waters off the Florida and Carolinas coasts is underway. Eight white sharks tagged by the Utah-based research group were spotted from New Jersey to Florida in the last week. Three other sharks that had been tagged were detected Wednesday in waters on North Carolina beaches, and two more sharks made their presence known with toothy grins just west of Key West in September.

- Most of us think compatibility and love are the greatest predictors of marital success. A study says that age difference matters as well. The study compiled polling data from more than 3,000 recently married and divorced Americans. Turns out the closer you are in age, the less likely you are to divorce… Being one year apart from your partner makes you 3 percent more likely to divorce (when compared to their same-aged counterparts). If there’s a 5-year difference, you’re 18 percent more likely to split up. And a 10-year difference? You’re 39 percent more likely to end your marriage.

- A police officer in Italy stopped a vehicle for speeding at 1:50 AM but by the time he got up to the vehicle to talk to the driver, the driver’s seat was empty.
