In The News:


 - National Waffle Day. For breakfast, lunch, or dinner… Waffle irons and waffles originated around the 14th century. However, on August 24, 1869, Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York received his patent for the waffle iron.

 - Fast internet? Is your internet fast? Probably not as fast as you’d like. Or maybe it is, but is it fast enough to download the entire Netflix library in less than a second? Engineers recently set new world record internet speed, a data transmission rate of 178 terabits a second. The new record, set at University College London, is a fifth faster than the previous world record held by a team in Japan.

 - Groom fakes kidnapping. A Guatemalan man faked his own kidnapping to get out of his wedding. The 25-year-old disappeared on the day of his wedding and appeared again hours later. He gave police a full statement but officers thought his story was suspicious. He eventually admitted he did it all to escape the wedding.

 - Truck-Sized Asteroid. Nothing says 2020 like an asteroid headed to Earth. To make it more interesting, it is a truck-sized asteroid headed to Earth the day before the election. The asteroid named 2018VP1 is considered thin and small at 6.5 feet. It only has a .41% likelihood of actually impacting Earth. A NASA spokesperson said, if it did enter Earth it would disintegrate due to size.

 - National Peach Pie Day! We celebrate this mouth-watering dessert during the heart of the Peach harvest season.

 - Bottled Tea. Labels on bottled tea beverages are typically plastered with declarations of their rich antioxidant content. But a study suggests if you’re looking for high doses of healthful antioxidants, you might be better off brewing your tea at home. Many of the popular beverages included in the study contain fewer antioxidants than a single cup of home-brewed green or black tea. Some store-bought teas contain such small amounts that consumers would have to drink 20 bottles to get the antioxidants found in one cup of tea. In addition, bottled beverages often contain large amounts of sugar.

 - Best Spider-Man. Voters have named Tom Holland the best Spider-Man. More than 11,000 people on Twitter voted in the poll that saw Tobey Macguire take the second spot with 35.3 percent of the vote. Andrew Garfield came in third place with 10 percent of the vote and Miles Morales was fourth with 4.1 percent of the vote. Who do you think is the best Spider-Man?

 - Left Behind Teddy Bears. I read an article that said millions of phone and other gadget chargers are left in hotel and motel rooms around the world each year. Even more tragic: some 75,000 Teddy bears are left behind in hotels around the world each year.

 - Large Diamond. One of the world’s largest diamonds has been unearthed in Africa — a 442-carat rock worth as much as $18 million.

 - Singing Happy Birthday. A man on a flight from one Chinese city to another was kicked off the plane because he refused to stop singing a birthday song to himself. Shortly after boarding, the man announced it was his birthday and told passengers and crew they should bring him free drinks. When no one did he began singing a popular Chinese birthday song loudly, over and over again. He was escorted off the plane before it took off.
