1. The picturesque Austrian
village of Hallstatt, which inspired the setting of Disney’s “Frozen” movies,
is trying to manage the daily influx of 10,000 disruptive and annoying tourists
by limiting the number of tour busses, preventing visitors from interrupting
church services… *** …and
expelling anyone who won’t stop singing “Let it Go.“
2. The U.S. Army has issued a warning about
fraudulent text messages that instruct the recipient to report to the nearest
Army recruiting branch "for immediate departure to Iran." *** Hey, I’d
never fall for that obvious scam…but if they told me I’d be sent to Nigeria and
paid in gold bars…
3. Yum Brands recently agreed to buy hamburger giant
Habit Grill, which will join Yum’s current holdings of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and
Kentucky Fried Chicken. *** As the final step in its corporate strategy, Yum
now plans to purchase a leading manufacturer of defibrillators.
4. Russian archaeologists recently unearthed the
ancient tomb of four “Amazon warrior women” who had lived around 500 B.C. *** Historians
say Amazon warriors could be fierce fighters, but mostly they just sold and
delivered stuff.
5. Instead of playing taps, a U.S. Army base in
South Korea accidentally sounded an alert siren that could indicate incoming
missiles. *** Afterwards, an Army
spokesman apologized and said there was no harm done, except for extra long
lines at the base laundromat.
