Global Precipitation Measurement

April showers bring May flowers on the East Coast, and hopefully some much-needed precipitation to parched states out west just in time to kick off the growing season.  We're live with NASA scientists who are revealing a stunning new portrait of rain and snow around the globe.

Idiotest Challenge

Comedian Ben Gleib (Chelsea Lately) returns as the wildly witty host dishing out even tougher brainteasers to contestants competing for a $10,000 cash prize. Gleib will also play an integral role in the season two premiere which will feature some April Fool's-related stunts being kept under wraps.

Idiotest, based on the highly popular app game, gives two pairs of contestants the opportunity to face off in several rounds of visual brain teasers that look deceptively simple, but whose answers actually require a keen eye, quick mind and heightened sense of logic. Over 21 million have watched Idiotest to date, making it one of GSN's most popular originals.

Bike Tire Flats

Pedal pros say the drought (yes the drought) and lack of street sweeping is causing flat bike tires.

The drought is allowing the goathead horn weeds (found in sidewalk cracks) to dry up and becoming pointy and sharp - and punctures the bike tires... In addition, budget cuts have reduced the street sweeping and therefore allows for more debris on the roads.
