Australian breaks meaningless record
A lazy Australian guy broke the world record for consecutive hours playing video games. He played more than 140 hours, alternating between sitting down and standing on an exercise machine. He also took 20 hours of breaks during the feat, which I happen to think makes the record a bit less impressive. I think this is a sign that the Guinness Book of World Records should start putting some more restrictions on the people challenging for records.
Hooligans go too far
Fans of a soccer team in the Russian city of St Petersburg tossed fireworks on to the field, which ended up exploding into the opposing goalie's eyes. The game was immediately cancelled. As a sports fan, I would think that the most hypocritical thing a fan could do would be to force the cancellation of a game and injure the very players you love to watch. I've always been able to count on soccer hooligans to fight and yell at each other, but they didn't have to get the players involved. Clearly he needs a lesson from Charlie Hunnam's character in "Green Street Hooligans".
Nasal cells heal paralyzed dogs
Breakthrough treatment by researchers in the UK has once paralyzed dogs walking again. And the science was hiding right under their noses. Doctors took cells from inside the dogs' noses and injected them into the dogs' spines. Months later, the dogs were able to begin walking again. It sounds unbelievable to say that a person could just pick their nose, inject some boogers into a spine and heal paralysis. That's a bit overly simplified, but you get the idea.
