Nineteen-year-old Mahmood Akram from India has amazed the world by mastering 400 languages while simultaneously pursuing multiple university degrees. His linguistic journey began early under the guidance of his father, a linguistics expert, and by the age of six, he had already surpassed his mentor’s knowledge.

Do they smell like shit or is that just the fruit of the Durian?

First timer eaters will say it smells like shit, but if you're already used to the smell, that's the time you realized that it's really good.

When I was in Singapore, one of my coworkers said eating durian is like eating a bowl of ice cream sitting on the toilet.



It tastes smooth and delicious and smells like an outhouse. So many people complained when people brought them on the subway that they banned them.
