- 4 months until Christmas/Strange Music Day
- Teens find buried treasure. Oz Cohen is glad he took a second look. The 18-year-old was digging around in the dirt on a hillside in central Israel as part of a project with other young people when he spotted a jar holding “what looked like very thin leaves.” When he looked again, he saw they were gold coins. Along with another 18-year-old, Oz had uncovered a treasure: 425 coins of pure, 24-karat gold, more than 1,100 years old. Experts said the stash was well hidden by someone who planned to come back for it, fastening the lid with a nail.
- Drink water. Want to lose weight? Drinking two cups of water before eating results in consuming 75 to 90 fewer calories per meal on average, according to a study. Researchers said it could be because water, which contains zero calories, is filling — so you feel full faster. H2O might also be taking the place of sweeter drinks people might otherwise consume.
- KFC. Kentucky Fried Chicken has decided to pause using its “finger lickin’ good” slogan because — well, that’s probably not the best idea right now. Several months after health officials recommended everyone stop touching their faces to help stop the spread of coronavirus, KFC said Monday that the 64-year-old slogan “doesn’t feel quite right.”
- After more than six years with the Springfield Police Department, K9 Charlie will retire from the department following the promotion of his handler, Sgt. Michael Karnes. Charlie, a Malinois from Denmark, first began with SPD in June of 2014. He was a model K9 and enjoyed working, whether it was tracking bad guys, searching buildings, conducting car sniffs, or doing article searches. In retirement, Charlie will live with Sgt. Karnes as a pet and become part of his family. He will get to relax and enjoy life by playing outside in the yard or laying around the house. The Springfield Police Department is grateful for K9 Charlie’s service and we wish him plenty of naps and lots of treats in retirement.

- Women like geeks. A study into the dating habits of 3,000 women found they prefer geeky, practical guys over athletic, well-groomed men. Of the women polled, almost three quarters said they were more attracted to men who know how to fix things over guys who spend all their time keeping fit. Roughly eight out of ten said they found men who spend their spare time down the gym a total turn-off.
- Pumpkin-spiced lattes are back. If it seems a little too soon - you're right. Starbucks released all of its fall favorites earlier than ever this year, to give people all the fall feels. Besides the latte, the new menu options are a pumpkin cream cold brew or salted caramel mocha or frappe. Bakery items like pumpkin bread or scones and pumpkin cream cheese muffins are on the fall menu as well.
- Cop fingerprint. In France during the investigation of a house burglary, cops found a thumbprint on the door frame. Figuring it had to belong to the burglar, they ran the print through their computer and were surprised to find out that the thumbprint came from one of their own — a police officer. He was charged with the burglary until his attorney pointed out that the officer’s print was on the door frame because he had been the first to respond to the alarm and had leaned against the frame while interviewing the homeowner.
- McDonald’s has introduced two new menu items: Spicy Chicken McNuggets and the Chips Ahoy! McFlurry. It’s an attempt by McDonald’s to lure customers back during the pandemic.

McFlurry, it includes vanilla soft-serve ice cream, Chips Ahoy! cookie pieces, and caramel topping. Both new items will hit US restaurants on Sept. 16 and will be available for a limited time.
