Are you a coffee or tea drinker?
The answer might come down to your personality!
A study out of New York analyzed the difference between fans of the two hot drinks. It found that tea drinkers like to get up early, spend time outdoors, and describe themselves as adventurous. Conversely, coffee drinkers were more likely to sleep in, spend time indoors, and classified themselves as introverts.
Do either of these speak to you? Which one?
Let me know!

What else did we talk about this morning?
ICYMI – Milton by-election results
It was a late night on Thursday as the Milton by-election came to an end. We now have our new MPP! Zee Hamid and the Progressive Conservatives won by a pretty significant margin. It was never really close, as he led from the first poll count right to the end. Ontario Premier Doug Ford was one of the first congratulate Hamid on the win, releasing a statement that also denounced Ontario Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie, calling her the ‘Queen of the Carbon Tax’.
Daily WTF – NASA asked to help in the search for Loch Ness Monster as live webcams set up
The search for Nessie continues as the Loch Ness Centre dives deeper into their mission of finding the monster. In the last 90 years, there have been more than 1100 reported sightings of the Loch Ness Monster. The Centre has set up official live webcams that will show an online audience prime spots of the famous lake. Volunteers are being recruited to keep watch of the area. The Centre has also put out a call to NASA, asking them to lend a hand. They’d like the space experts to use any kind of advanced scanning technologies to take a look at Loch Ness. Apparently last year, the Centre used a hydrophone during an expedition and captured loud underwater sound waves, so they believe something is out there… Whether it’s a dragon-like water dinosaur or not, we’ll have to wait and see!
Daily Did You Know – The history behind Milton’s Furik Place and Logan Drive

GOOD NEWS – A boy gave his only dollar to someone he mistook as homeless. In exchange, the businessman rewarded him for his generosity
About a month ago, a Louisiana businessman by the name of Matt Busbice had the misfortune of waking up to the fire alarm going off in his condo building. He rushed to put clothes on, ran outside, only to find there was no fire. He decided that, despite wearing mismatched clothes and looking disheveled, he’d go get a coffee at his local coffee shop around the corner. When he got there, Busbice realized he still needed to do his morning prayer. He got down on the sidewalk outside the coffee shop and began praying. That’s when a nine-year-old boy approached him. Ellis handed the odd looking man a $1 bill, and asked if Busbice was homeless. It was his only dollar that he had just received for getting good grades in school. Even though he isn’t homeless, Busbice was so touched by the act of kindness that he bought Ellis a snack at the coffee shop, and then contacted the boy’s father. A little while later, Busbice brought the boy and his dad to the sporting goods store that he owns and gave him an offer: 40 seconds, pick whatever you want. Ellis immediately went and grabbed himself a new bike. Busbice says that Ellis brought him a lot of joy, and opened his eyes to the act of giving for the sake of giving. And that’s some good news!
Madonna’s free Brazil concert at Rio’s Copacabana beach attracts more than 1.6 million fans
It seems Brazil loves Madonna! The pop singer held a free concert along the Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro to end her latest tour. Turns out, a lot of people could fit on that beach, as 1.6 million people arrived to hear Madonna perform. There were giant screens stationed all along the beach for each person to see the stage. Officers patrolled the area to keep the chaos controlled. From all reports, it was a raving success! Considering she nearly died last year, it’s probably safe to say Madonna was happy with everything.

Healthcare worker plays numbers from a fortune cookie, wins six-figure lottery prize
When you play the lottery, how do you choose the numbers you play with? Some people will do significant birthdays, maybe lucky numbers, but for Kyung Hee Lee in Woodbridge, Ontario, she used the numbers she received in a recent fortune cookie. That spur-of-the-moment decision won her $100,000. The money will now go towards her retirement fund. I think I’ll order Chinese food this weekend, maybe buy a lottery ticket after… You know, test my luck!
