Now For Something Completely Different

In 2001, Pizza Hut made history by paying about $1 million to send a pizza to the International Space Station aboard a Russian resupply mission. The six-inch salami pizza was vacuum-sealed and specially prepared for the challenges of space.

Pepperoni was rejected after testing showed it could develop mold, so salami was chosen instead, with extra salt added because astronauts’ taste perception changes in microgravity.

Cosmonaut Yuri Usachov heated the pizza in space, took a bite, and gave a thumbs-up creating one of the most unusual pizza deliveries ever.

No wonder Dominos took over.

A Chicago startup is transforming vacant downtown office spaces into productive indoor farms. Instead of leaving unused buildings empty, these spaces are being redesigned to grow fresh food in controlled environments right in the heart of the city.

The farms produce lettuce, herbs, edible flowers, and microgreens for local customers. It’s a creative way to reuse underused urban spaces while bringing fresh, locally grown produce closer to the people who live and work nearby.

In 2017, nearly 100-year-old Dutch great-grandmother Annie had an unusual item on her bucket list: she wanted to experience being inside a police cell.
Her niece contacted police in Nijmegen, and an officer named Maarten arranged a special visit despite civilians normally being restricted from the detention area.

Police picked Annie up, drove her to the station, handcuffed her, and briefly locked her inside a cell. Annie had never committed a crime and simply wanted to experience the unusual adventure.
Photos showed her happily wearing the handcuffs and smiling from inside the cell, making it a memorable day for both Annie and the officers.

France has now reached the 40% rooftop requirement for certain new buildings and major renovations.

Since July 1, 2026, covered buildings must use at least 40% of their roof for either renewable-energy systems such as solar panels or qualifying vegetation, with the requirement scheduled to rise to 50% in July 2027.
The rule applies to specified commercial, industrial, office, warehouse, hospital, sports, recreational and educational buildings above applicable size thresholds, rather than every new building in France.

The goal is to combine cleaner energy production with greener, better-insulated rooftops and improved biodiversity.

On August 17, 1957, Alice Roth was watching the Phillies play the New York Giants at Connie Mack Stadium when a foul ball hit by Richie Ashburn struck her in the face, breaking her nose.

While medics treated her and placed her on a stretcher, Ashburn returned to the plate.

On the very next pitch, Ashburn fouled another ball into the stands, striking Roth again this time in the leg.
She was taken to the hospital, and Ashburn later visited her.

Despite the bizarre double accident, Roth remained a Phillies fan, and the team gave her grandsons tickets, autographs, and a clubhouse visit.
