gmtodaysknowledgeHeadline[0]='What Makes a Hurricane?'
gmtodaysknowledgeDescription[0]='Think of a hurricane as a giant heat pump--pumping the energy stored in tropical ocean water warmed by the blazing sun to at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius).'

gmtodaysknowledgeHeadline[1]='Getting to Modern Iran'
gmtodaysknowledgeDescription[1]='Last issue, we reviewed 18 centuries of Iranian history, from Alexander the Great\'s ancient invasion to the first foundations of the modern Iranian state. But if you really want to get to modern Iran, you can\'t stop there.'

gmtodaysknowledgeHeadline[2]='How Iran Got Religion'
gmtodaysknowledgeDescription[2]='Last issue, we began a three-part look at Iranian history, starting with ancient Persia. Today, we turn our clocks back &quot;only&quot; 2,300 years, to a time when the ancient warring empires that succeeded Persia tried to make peace. By the end of our story, we\'ll see how Iran &quot;got religion.&quot;'

gmtodaysknowledgeHeadline[3]='Ancient Iran: The Trilogy'
gmtodaysknowledgeDescription[3]='The way we see it, early Iranian history is basically a grand adventure story. So we\'ve broken it down into three action-packed episodes. Just think of this as a pitch for Hollywood\'s next great epic trilogy.'

gmtodaysknowledgeHeadline[4]='Man of the Month 8'
gmtodaysknowledgeDescription[4]='August is here! No time like the present to meet Caesar Augustus, the man for whom August is named. Without the first Roman emperor, we might still call the month Sextilis!'
