1. The famous white sand on the beaches of Sardinia is protected
by law, and a tourist was fined $1,200 for attempting to leave the Italian
island with 4 pounds of that sand in his luggage. *** Heck, after a day on the beach it usually feels
like I have more sand than that in my swim trunks (and man, does it itch).
2. This morning’s “Word of the Day” from Word Genius is “Buck-and-Wing,” which is “a lively solo
tap dance, typically done in wooden-soled shoes.” *** Oh. I thought it was from that iconic episode
of “The Twilight Zone” when an angry William Shatner told the skeptical flight
attendant where he had seen the furry creature.
3. White Castle has just announced a new packaging design called
the “Crave Clutch” – a cardboard container that holds 20 sliders and 4 small fries,
and features colorful graphics, a sturdy carrying handle...***…and a built-in grease trap.
4. After apparently getting lost during the annual migration, a
humpback whale has become stranded in an alligator-infested river in Australia. *** The poor guy is now facing a tough choice:
Stay in the river and get eaten by alligators, or rejoin the pod and listen to endless
reminders that he should have stopped and asked for directions.
5. In Merrimack, New Hampshire, a 40-pound exotic pet cat that
had been on the run for two days was finally caught, although authorities did
not disclose how the elusive cat was lured into the trap. *** Unconfirmed rumors indicate the process involved
a remote-control drone equipped with a really strong laser pointer.
