SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A survey found that your favorite ice cream flavor may hint at your personality. Strawberry fans tend to find love earliest (around 24) and enjoy laundry, sci-fi, and jazz. Chocolate lovers are outgoing, into rom-coms and pop or R&B, and typically fall in love at 26. Vanilla fans, despite the name, are risk-takers in “truth-or-dare,” night owls, dog people, and slightly more introverted. The survey of Americans also found that most people prefer their scoops in a cup, topped with chocolate chips.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Brad Pitt is reprising the role that won him an Oscar, for a followup to 2019’s “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood”. Netflix released the surprise first teaser trailer for “The Adventures of Cliff Booth” during the Super Bowl on Sunday. The teaser has not been released online yet. The movie sees Pitt step back into the shoes of the title character, who appeared in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood as a stunt performer for Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘Rick Dalton’ in the Quentin Tarantino film. The new movie is directed by David Fincher (“The Social Network”, “Gone Girl”) from a script Tarantino seemingly wrote as a spinoff from Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
Shia LaBeouf had a rough time during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, getting into a fight that brought paramedics to the scene, and getting arrested as a result. TMZ posted video of the aftermath of the alleged altercation, which occurred just after midnight Tuesday outside a bar in the French Quarter. Court records show LaBeouf was arrested and is facing 2 charges of simple battery. He entered court-mandated rehab after a 2017 arrest in Savannah, Georgia, for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
Shia LaBeouf has just 2 words to share after his arrest in New Orleans on Tuesday: “Free me.” The 39-year-old “Transformers” star wrote those words in an X post on Wednesday morning. The brief update came a day after he was arrested at Mardi Gras on allegations of getting into a physical altercation with 2 men outside a Royal Street business. LaBeouf is facing 2 charges of simple battery. He was released from jail in New Orleans on Tuesday, and his pretrial hearing is scheduled for March 19. LaBeouf returned to celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans hours after his release, according to multiple reports. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/5y7wakp2

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
A Florida man and woman were both arraigned for stealing $31,000 worth of laundry detergent and cleaning supplies.
Move over, laser pointer – Olympic luge is the new feline obsession. As athletes rocket down icy tracks at the Winter Olympics, cats everywhere are launching their own high-speed attacks…on the TV screen. Social media is packed with videos of wide-eyed kitties pawing, pouncing and nearly “catching” lugers, skiers and even curling stones. The tiny predators, triggered by sudden movement, treat races like prime hunting hour. Commenters are joking that athletes have no idea they’re up against such fearsome foes. Experts say the instinct is natural: seeing quick motion flips on a cat’s inner hunter switch. If your kitty is also ‘going for gold’, interactive toys – or a well-aimed laser dot – can help them stick the landing. Sample comments:
• “Watching cats watch the Olympics is the best way to watch the Olympics.”
• “Wow she almost caught that guy.”
• “Do the athletes even know they’re up against such a terrifying foe?”
• “Hey so actually this is bad for the cats because they can get overly invested and join the Jamaican bobsled team.”

WEIRD NEWS
A retired design professor chose an unconventional farewell: postcards sent after his death. Instead of a funeral or obituary, Don Glickman wrote a blunt message to friends and former students: “If you’re reading this, I’m dead, and I really liked you.” His daughter, Leah Glickman, mailed more than 100 cards following his death at 94. Featuring a scowling selfie, and printed in bold Helvetica, the postcards reflected Glickman’s direct style. A longtime professor at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and the University at Buffalo, he was remembered by students for his candor, mentorship, and lasting impact. His daughter said she doesn’t think “the people that received this postcard were surprised at all by the message.”
QUESTION OF THE DAY

SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH HEIDI SMALL
(FROM HEIDI)
THE LIST
SOME OF THE WORLD’S WEIRDEST INVENTIONS:
❑ Moustache Shield – A clip-on guard developed in 1876, held by elastic cords to keep facial hair dry while eating. Victorian grooming met peak awkwardness.
❑ Fliz – A bike without pedals where riders hang suspended, and run to move it. Lightweight and modern, but questionably useful.
❑ Necomimi – Brainwave-controlled cat ears that perk up when you concentrate and droop when you relax. Popular with cosplayers, it turns your mood into instant feline body language.
❑ Dynasphere – A giant motorized wheel you sit inside, reaching about 48 km/h (30mph). Hard to steer and prone to “gerbiling,” it looked futuristic but felt mildly life-threatening.
❑ Tomatan – A wearable robot that feeds you tomatoes while you run. Built as a promo stunt, it solves the very niche problem of marathon snacking.
❑ Goodyear illuminated tires – Tires that lit up from within for a neon driving effect. Stunning at night, but slippery in the wet, and prone to melting under pressure.
❑ Hayfever Hat – A hat that dispenses tissue paper for nonstop sneezing. Practical in theory, ridiculous in practice.
❑ Hamblin glasses – Mirror-fitted glasses that let you read while lying flat. Essentially a wearable periscope for bedtime bookworms.
❑ Cat Meow Machine – A mechanical cat designed to scare rodents by meowing and lighting up its eyes. It fooled absolutely no mice and offered zero cuddles for people.
❑ Ostrich Pillow – A padded head cocoon for desk naps that blocks light and noise. Comfort guaranteed, workplace dignity not included.
❑ V-shaped Bed – A sharply angled bed developed in 1930, meant to improve posture and support by having the owner sleep in the middle of the ‘V’. Turns out people prefer sleeping on something flat. Who knew?
❑ Crane Head Cereal Serving Device – A wearable, milk-powered crane that transfers cereal to your bowl. Breakfast efficiency sacrificed for spectacle.
