Muse may have hidden a word using Morse code in one of their songs.

You've probably heard of bands hiding backwards messages in their songs, but this one is older and nerdier. Some clever fans realized that the beginning of the Muse song "Starlight" had a word in Morse code.

The song starts with clapping drums that spell out "__ .. __ …" which spells out the word "TITS." It might be intentional, although some people believe that it is purely coincidental.

The song, Starlight is from the 2006 album "Black Holes and Revelations, and is a love song about missing someone you love. What do you think… Do we have any Muse fans amongst our readers? Did they intend to put that code in or was it accidental? If you haven't heard the song, we're embedding it.

Bill Gates just became the richest man in the world. Again!

Although he had lost the title to Mexican magnate Carlos Slim for over six years, a recent surge in Microsoft's stock price has let Bill Gates reclaim the title of the world's richest man.

Gates' fortune now stands at $72.7 billion, while Slim's is $72.1 billion. Slim's fortunes also fell because Mexico passed a bill that will tighten the reins of his enormous telecom company, America Movil.

Next in line? Warren Buffet at $59.7 billion, then Spaniar Amancio Ortega at $57 and finally, IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad at $55.6 billion. What's remarkable is that both Gates and Buffet have already given so much of their money away, and yet they're still at the top of the list!

An infamous episode of the X-Files was based on something that happened to Charlie Chaplin!

'Home' is the title of an infamous X-Files episode being notorious for being the first X-Files episode for having a parental warning at the beginning of an episode. In it, Mulder and Scully find a family of inbred, mutated freaks in a small town called 'Home.'

The show had shocking images and an atmosphere that resembled the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The script turned a lot of heads at Fox. Some executives even called it immoral. Turns out, the writers based the script on the real life experiences of Charlie Chaplin.

Chaplin was touring England in a musical. He went to stay in an old boarding house. The family who ran it liked him and asked him to come upstairs to show him something not many people saw. There was a man with no arms or legs. Then, they started dancing and the kid flopped around. When they were done, the kid lay on his back and was rolled under the bed.

That anecdote showed up in an autobiography and the writer of the episode thought that he just had to do something like that at some point in his life.
