Come Monday, can I photograph the eclipse with my smartphone?

NASA says… YES!

In fact, they actually encourages you to use better lens to zoom and capture the eclipse.

But of course, while trying to capture this exciting event, you have to be careful that you minimize glimpsing the bright sun with your own eyes without the benefit of a proper filter (glasses)!

In the News:

I like cheese… but eating a pizza with 112 may be too much!

A pizzeria, Crown Pizza in Waterford, Connecticut teamed with a WNBA basketball team to attempt a Guinness World Record by cooking up a pizza with 112 different cheeses.

The manager, Taso Vitsas, quickly realized that using so many cheeses would require a major sacrifice -- taste. He said, “"Once I got to 30-35 cheeses, I realized this is not going to be a good-tasting pizza."

The mixture of cheeses caused problems for more than just the taste of the pizza. He admitted, “Some of these blu cheeses and goat cheeses from across the world, they have a very unique smell,".

Vitsas said he attempted to sample the admittedly less-than-delicious pizza.

"I tried it. It wouldn't go down."

A fruitcake more than 100 years old was recently discovered in near-edible condition by conservators in Antarctica.

The New Zealand-based Antarctic Heritage Trust uncovered a rusted iron alloy tin in Cape Adare containing the fruitcake which could be at least 106 years old. Conservators said the tin was in poor condition, but the paper wrapping was largely intact and the fruitcake nearly looked and smelled edible.

In the News:

A heroic cat helped save an Oklahoma couple by waking them up in the middle of the night to warn them their house was on fire.

Awakened by the cat that jumped on his chest, the husband then looked down the hallway where he spotted the bright orange glow of the flames. The man woke his wife, and they dashed out of the home.
Bellevue fire officials said the smoke detector in the couple's kitchen didn't have a functioning battery, so the family was lucky the cat woke them up before the flames reached the area over the couple's bedroom and collapsed the roof.

In the News:

Cheesy news perhaps?

Traffic on a stretch of interstate in Arkansas was brought to a greasy halt when a truck crash spilled hundreds of frozen pizzas onto the road.

The Arkansas Department of Transportation said the truck's trailer was torn apart about 1 p.m. Wednesday when it struck the Mabelvale Pike overpass on Interstate 30 in Little Rock.

The damage caused the truck's diesel fuel and its load of frozen DiGiorno and Tombstone pizzas to spill out onto the road.
Heavy equipment was brought to the scene to scrape the dough, cheese, and pepperoni off the pavement.
