Did you know that the Cicindela hudsoni, also known as the Australian Tiger Beetle, has been recorded as the fastest insect in the world? Despite its small size, it can run at an average speed of 5.5 mph (9 km/h), equivalent to a relative rate of 171 body lengths per second.
Interestingly, Tiger Beetles use a distinct chasing pattern known as "stop-and-go." They pause in the middle of their pursuit. The reason for this behavior is their poor eyesight. They cannot gather enough photons to form a clear image of their prey if they move too quickly. Therefore, they must stop, look around, and continue their chase.

George Orwell said in 1984, "If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself." Or, if it's absolutely gnawing at you and you can't keep it inside another minute, just say "screw it" and set it free -- anonymously on Secret, Silicon Valley's hottest new confessional-style social networking app. You know you want to.
Secret, which launched on Jan. 30, only three weeks ago, with the fitting tagline "Speak Freely," wants you to cut to the chase already and blurt out what's on your mind. In fact, the sole purpose of the free (and exquisitely freeing) incognito self-tattling app is to give you carte blanche to spill your guts in a fun, safe way that doesn't disclose your identity. Phew! And that's just what users, many of them techie types, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, from Northern California all the way to the tip of Florida, are doing like wildfire.
Users, cloaked in the emboldening safety of anonymity, are taking to the addictive, gossipy social platform in droves to blow the lid off of some lurid, juicy mea culpas. According to USA Today, tech journalists are using the controversial app to admit accepting bribes to pen articles (gasp!) and startup founders to dish dirt on their investors and, of course, on their minions, too. A married VC even took to Secret to come out of the closet, also according to USA Today.
