Every week in this space, we’ll take a look at the news and offer our own incisive blend of commentary, analysis, and poop jokes. The news you need, from a voice you can trust, in the 90 seconds you have to spare: that’s Woot Weads the Wire.
SANDWICH, England (UPI) -- Residents of Sandwich, England, are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the invention of the sandwich, first ordered by the fourth earl of Sandwich.
1762 marked the year John Montagu first ordered the dish that would be named after his peerage, which thankfully saved the world from having to fill their mouths with the far less appetizing "hot open-faced john."
NEW DELHI (UPI) -- India's Supreme Court has ordered a halt to a government plan to reintroduce the cheetah, wiped out in India by hunting nearly a century ago.
The court says that spending money on the big cat would send a mixed message to young people taking their final exams, a group that must learn early how cheetahs never prosper.
LONDON (UPI) -- Conservationists say they hope to reverse the decline of one of Britain's most threatened birds, the turtle dove, and save the species from possible extinction.
Sources say the first step is to stop people from giving away two of them every Christmas.
OXFORD, Conn. (UPI) -- A Connecticut company has created an action figure based on Patricia Krentcil, the woman accused of allowing her 6-year-old to join her in a tanning bed.
And the world said "Oh." as one.
BURBANK, Ill. (UPI) -- A woman in suburban Chicago was found stabbed to death in her bathtub, in the gown she wore at her wedding, officials said.
Police say they'll begin the search by questioning anyone suspected of writing an ironic '50s novelty song.
