Editor's note: In our stories this week, we saw a 'super-family' from Florida with 16 children, a water artist who creates drawings and paintings while floating in the sea, a body artist who uses paint to make her models effortlessly blend into their surroundings and one of the most romantic roads in the world.

We've gathered all the interesting, popular and downright odd anecdotes from around the world in our news review.

The family spends a staggering $650 a week on groceries from wholesalers. The 'supermom' is able to squeeze in time for herself thanks to a strict chore schedule, which sees her kids do the cooking and laundry.
