In Election Landslide, New Mayor of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky Is… a Pitbull
by Shifra on November 13, 2016A cat, chicken and a donkey were also on the ballot, but the election results seem a little “fishy.” Via Telegraph. The battle for the American presidency might have been close, but in the small Kentucky town of Rabbit Hash, a pitbull called Brynneth Pawltro won the mayoralty by a landslide. Brynneth beat off competition for the job from a cat, chicken and a donkey for the coveted post to provide political leadership in the small township about 70 miles north of the state capital, Frankfort. There was a whiff of suspicion about the election with the good-natured dog winning by a margin of 3,367 votes. This would be fine but for the fact that, according to the 2010 US...

FL Paper Apologizes to Readers for Anti-Trump Coverage: “You Deserve More Balance”
by Shifra on October 31, 2016Yes, definitely a Flying Pigs moment. Via BizPac Review. A central Florida newspaper has apologized to its readers for the decidedly anti-Donald Trump coverage that has been published during the election.

Here’s the mea culpa: The Daily Commercial hasn’t done enough to mitigate the anti-Trump wave in...

New App: Old Photos of Your NYC Location Just A Tap Away
by Shifra on August 31, 2016We all know that Tammy will be downloading this app, ASAP! Via NY Post. A decade ago, you would have to go to the New York Public Library in person to view its Milstein Division, which contains a collection of some 54,000 gripping images of New York City taken between the 1870s and the 1970s. And, after a tedious request for microfilm, you definitely couldn’t sneak a particularly compelling streetscape out of the 42nd Street branch and take it with you for a side-by-side comparison with its modern-day counterpart. But now there’s an app for that. OldNYC — which debuted in May — digitally tags each photo in the collection based on location, and clusters them at thousands of intersections...

New Invention: The Electric Salted Fork
by Shifra on March 31, 2016When they invent ‘the electric ice cream spoon,’ please let me know. Via Telegraph: Sprinkling too much salt on food has long been flagged up as a dietary sin linked to a raft of health problems, from strokes to heart disease.

The prototype fork creates a salty taste in the mouth at the press of a button, due to the release of an electrical current which stimulates the tongue. The device… is based on the fact that a human tongues feels salty or sour when electricity is applied to it, according to the...
