1. A North Carolina man was charged with attempted fraud after
applying for $6 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans using fictitious names
from the medieval drama "Game of Thrones" *** Federal authorities rejected his application and
told him he missed the filing deadline by about 1,000 years.
2. A fashion magazine’s series on seasonal fashion trends includes
an article on “14 New Fall Styles.” *** Call me old school, but I still prefer
the classic style, where I’m walking along and my feet just kinda slip out from
under me.
3. The San Diego Zoo’s gorilla exhibit has been temporarily
closed to repair the viewing window which was cracked when a few gorillas got
riled up and began running around the enclosure, and one gorilla aggressively slammed
another one into the glass. *** The police are
now asking for the public’s help in identifying the visitor who showed the
gorillas a professional hockey game on his cell phone.
4. Icon, the maker NordicTrack and other fitness machines, is
suing competitor Peloton, claiming the design of Peloton’s new stationary bike
infringes on several Icon patents.
*** Icon claims it invented the general concept of a bicycle that
wouldn’t actually go anywhere even if you did use it, as well as specific design
features such as timer-activated fans to periodically blow off the dust and handlebars
that double as clothes racks.
