- A San Jose, California couple returned to their home one night last week to discover that someone had been in their backyard — apparently to steal water. What the couple discovered was a series of connected hoses running from their backyard for about a half mile, toward an encampment of homeless people. The hose ran from their house, into and up a creek, then out into the encampment.

- Utah’s David Whipple is the owner of what he calls “the world’s oldest hamburger” — a 20-year-old McDonald’s hamburger. The tale of David’s zombie-burger began at a McDonald’s restaurant in Logan, Utah on July 7, 1999. That’s when David bought his burger to use in presentations he was giving about enzymes and how things deteriorate… The 20-year burger experiment began accidentally. David said the burger was placed in a coat pocket. The coat was thrown in the back of his van, and he then hung the coat in a closet. Years later his wife was going to give the coat away and checked the pockets. Now, with its 20th birthday coming in July, the burger doesn’t look a day over 2 weeks and has a smell similar to that of cardboard.

- Charmin, the popular toilet paper brand, has big plans for the Consumer Electronics Show.

SmellSense will provide real-time bathroom stench updates with a “GO/NO GO” display.

If the answer to those questions is "yes," "yes" and "I'll give it a shot!" (respectively), you’re exactly the type of candidate Oscar Mayer is looking for. The Chicago-based company is now officially accepting applications for its 2020 class of Wienermobile drivers -- aka “Hotdoggers” -- to drive the highways and byways of the United States, acting as a “brand spokesperson” for Oscar Mayer. Oscar Mayer said it will hire a total of 12 Hotdoggers for one-year, full-time positions -- but be warned: Much like an overcooked hot dog, competition is going to be extremely tough. Candidates who make the cut -- or “cut the mustard,” as they should get used to hearing -- will start training in June at “Hot Dog High,” where fresh Hotdoggers will learn how to “become an expert in hot dog puns” (seriously) and drive the Wienermobile.
