Hundreds
of people, many without masks, turned up for the 10th annual “White
Trash Bash” in Illinois over the weekend — despite authorities
warning that Coronavirus cases are on the rise in the area. At least
200 boats filled with revelers packed the Illinois River in East
Peoria on Saturday for the all-day bash that consists of drinking and
socializing in large groups. None of the around 500 partygoers were
seen wearing masks or practicing social distancing. Authorities had
issued a warning ahead of the blowout, reminding folks that “Covid
19 numbers are increasing in our area.” “This event has the
potential to expose everyone to the virus,” the Fon du Lac Park
District Police Department wrote on Facebook. But ultimately,
officials said, there isn’t much they can do to ensure that
attendees stay mindful of the virus. (https://bit.ly/2Pi0BNL)

Weight loss experts remind us over and over again that if we eat too fast, our brain might not recognize that we are full until after we’ve already consumed more than enough calories. And, here’s yet another reason to slow down at mealtimes: chewing more could make you eat less. A study showed that participants who chewed about 2½ times more than the typical 15 times caused them to eat almost 12 percent fewer calories.
Researchers (University of Exeter) say pesky seagulls at vacation spots tend to be deterred somewhat from stealing your food when you just stare at them. The research showed that with a human staring at them, herring gulls took 21 seconds longer to approach a bag of chips then when left unobserved.

Some
silly constitutional amendments never happened. A U.S. constitutional
amendment was proposed in 1893 suggesting that the country be renamed
"The United States of Earth." There was another failed
amendment, a few years prior, that wanted to abolish the presidency
and install a "Roman-style triumvirate."

Don’t worry about getting bit by this wild cat, it’s already stuffed. Police were reportedly called to a park in Steyning, Horsham, West Sussex, on Friday over fears of an “apex predator” roaming around. However, once police arrived on the scene at night and saw the supposed “panther,” they realized the creature was actually a stuffed toy that had been left on the park bench. Twitter users were tickled by the news of the felt feline. “What. A. Headline: “Panther on the loose clinging to a park bench turned out to be a stuffed toy,” one wrote. “Possible Panther Prowls Park,” another wrote with the hashtag “Friday Funny.” Sussex Police were initially concerned when they first sighted the big cat in their car headlights, seemingly attempting to jump over the bench. “Reports of a large apex predator in the Steyning area turned out to be true,” the police said. “It may be a stuffed toy, but the attending officers didn’t necessarily know that at first.” (https://fxn.ws/2DlEYcn)

The
Charlotte County, Florida Fire Department and EMS has a warning for
drivers. Do not drive with an open candle! According to the
department’s Facebook page, the fire started after a fragrant
candle that was burning in the car, tipped over onto some papers, and
caught on fire. The man driving stopped his car and ran for a
trashcan to fill with water and when he got back, the car was
engulfed in flames. Fire and EMS crews say they were able to put out
the fire but, unfortunately, not before the fire destroyed the car.
Thankfully, no one was injured. (https://bit.ly/3hRJtub)
