1. There appears to be another “corn zone” in Kellogg’s future. The City of Wichita just received $2.1 million in federal funding to begin the process of replacing and upgrading portions of Kellogg near Dwight D. Eisenhower Airport.
2. Global climate disaster is closer than scientists originally thought. X-ray images of Doomsday Glacier, an Antarctic glacier the size of Florida, reveal that seawater flows beneath the glacier, melting it at a much faster rate. When glaciers collapse, sea levels around the world rise by 10 feet, wreaking havoc on coastal towns around the world.
3. Red Lobster is “dead lobster.” It turns out Cheddar Bay Biscuits couldn’t make up for the losses from making its expensive all-you-can-eat shrimp menu permanent. The largest seafood chain has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing poor store performance and rising lease and food costs.
4. We all seem to be craving sleep. Some people try white noise to help them fall asleep, while others try a soothing rumble of brown noise. Well, there’s pink noise. This is a comfortable frequency somewhere in between.
5. If you say BORG and Star Trek come to mind, you’re getting old. BORG is a growing and dangerous trend and stands for “Blackout Rage Gallon.” Sounds like fun, right? The next time you’re drinking at a “dirty” daytime outdoor drinking party and a gallon jug of milk is passed around, chances are he’s a BORG. A mixture of vodka or other alcohol, water, flavor enhancers, and electrolyte powder or drink. This trend is growing, and experts warn that resistance is futile and is responsible for the rise in binge drinking. I love how cute the BORG guys think they invented binge drinking. My friend and I plugged the bathtub and poured as much alcohol as we could get into…and it’s becoming a trend.
