The results are now final: Clinton wins popular vote by nearly 3 million
Hillary Clinton secured nearly 3 million more votes than President-elect Donald Trump in the final popular vote tally which by Wednesday morning was certified in all 50 states and Washington, DC. The Democratic presidential nominee ended up with more than 65.84 million votes, compared to the president-elect's more than 62.97 million ballots cast in his name. Of course, Trump ended up winning the Electoral College and, thus, the presidency by pulling off narrow wins in traditionally Democratic states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, while Clinton ran up higher vote totals than President Barack Obama did in the 2012 election in states such as California, Texas, and Arizona.

CIA officer who interviewed Saddam Hussein reveals the bizarre way the dictator spent his last days in power
Former CIA Senior Analyst John Nixon's new book "Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein" provides never-before-seen details into the daily life of Iraq's deposed dictator in the months before the 2003 US invasion wrenched him from power. Nixon, who wrote his master's thesis on Hussein, and whose full-time job at the CIA was to study him, was shocked to find out that common intelligence on Hussein had been wrong. His most astonishing discovery was that by the time of the United States-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Hussein had turned over the day-to-day running of the Iraqi government to his aides and was spending most of his time writing a novel.

NASA scientist: Earth is overdue a dinosaur-killing asteroid strike, and we're woefully unprepared
A NASA scientist has warned that if a gigantic asteroid heads towards our planet, there's pretty much nothing we can do about it. At the annual meeting of American Geophysical Union last week, the Guardian reports that Dr Joseph Nuth, a researcher with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said that Earth is woefully unprepared for an asteroid strike. Nuth said that Earth had a "close encounter" with a comet in 1996 and again in 2014, when one passed "within cosmic spitting distance of Mars." In that case, if we had been unlucky and the asteroid was in fact heading towards us, we probably wouldn't have had enough time to prepare.

A Cold War technology designed to make jets fly for days might solve Earth's looming energy crisis
The world population may balloon to 9 billion people by 2040, up from 7.36 billion in 2016, and researchers believe this will translate to a 48% jump in energy consumption. Meanwhile, renewable energy like wind and solar, though key parts of a solution, are no silver bullets -- especially if the world is to meet a 2050 deadline set by the Paris Agreement. Nuclear reactors fit the bill: They're dense, reliable, emit no carbon, and -- contrary to popular belief -- are among the safest energy sources on Earth.

13 more mind-blowing psychology findings that explain the baffling choices you make every day
Below, we've rounded up another 13 insights into human behaviour that were shared on the same Quora thread. One way to explain this phenomenon, writes Anunay Arunav, is, "when no one believes, but everyone thinks that everyone believes." In other words, individual members of a group privately believe one thing, but think that everyone else in the group believes the opposite. This phenomenon, known as "pluralistic ignorance," can help explain why certain cultural practices and government policies persist long after support for them has waned.

22 emoji you're probably using wrong
Emoji has been around since 1999, but these winky faces and seemingly random characters have only caught on fairly recently. A lot of that is thanks to Apple's iOS 6, which allowed iPhone owners to easily integrate emoji into their keyboard for the first time in 2012. Since then, Apple routinely updates its emoji, most recently adding a person shrugging, an avocado, and a fox to the lineup.
