The moon appears to be 40-million years older than scientists previously thought. That's according to a study that looked at crystals within lunar dust that was brought back in 1972 as part of the Apollo 17 mission, the last time astronauts set foot on the moon.. Scientists from Chicago's Field Museum said those shards have the record of an ancient cataclysm that suggest the moon is about four-and-a-half billion years old.

A question proposed on the internet asks people if they would rather have a half-million dollars--or lunch with rap mogul Jay-Z. Jay-Z advises you to "take the money." CBS's Gayle King asked him the question in an interview, to which Jay-Z said "I wouldn't tell you to cut a bad deal." King noted the insight someone might receive from an afternoon with the rapper and entrepreneur might be worth half a million, but he said his wisdom is available at a much cheaper price. As Jay-Z put it, "you've got all that in the music for ten ninety-nine."
