From the Washington Post:
Mexico City is launching a large-scale effort to clean up discarded chewing gum from its central historic district. The City has purchased special equipment to remove gum from the sidewalk, and plans to keep the area 100% clean, 24/7.
Lawmakers stopped short of outlawing chewing gum altogether, however, fearing that if gum is outlawed, only outlaws will have gum...

Two men survived 25 days adrift in an ice box after their fishing boat sank. The men told police they had been aboard a 30-foot wooden fishing boat that sank Dec. 23 with a total of 20 crew from Thailand and Myanmar (Burma).
The men immediately received offers to appear in commercial ads for Techni Ice, the manufacturer of the ice box, and several TV networks are said to be negotiating for the rights to produce a sitcom based upon their adventures. One network executive, who provided information based upon a guarantee of anonymity, hinted that the new show might be called Gilligan's Icebox. A competing production team is reportedly working on My Favorite Myanmartian.

From the Associated Press:
Researchers believe they have solved the puzzle of three seemingly different fish, one all males, one all females and one all juveniles. Though their physical appearance varies immensely, DNA testing proves they're the same fish, called "whalefish." The remarkable changes they undergo as they mature led scientists to believe for many decades that they represented three separate but related species. Researchers say that in order to survive in the hostile environment of the ocean depths, the females develop a large mouth, while the males become basically a set of testes looking for the female.
Maybe they should have called them "Springbreakfish."
