Bad news for James Bond fans --the latest movie, "No Time to Die," has been delayed again. It was supposed to be out this past October, but had been delayed until April. Now producers say it will be delayed again, blaming the pandemic.
While we're on the subject, a German developer who produces games for Google and Apple, has filed an anti-trust complaint with European authorities after they rejected a COVID game that he developed. The guy claims his new game encourages following government COVID-19 rules --so what could possibly be wrong with that? Turns out Google and Apple rules say COVID-19 related apps must be "government approved" in order to avoid promoting conflicting or incorrect health advice.
Get ready to pay more for subscribing to Netflix. It's not too bad --insiders say most accounts will be increased by $1 or $2 each month.
Getting on board a flight can be a bit hazardous, depending on that TSA agent. Turns out a former TSA agent was in court last week to answer charges that he talked a woman into showing her breasts to him as she went through security at LAX --Los Angeles International-- back in 2019. He apparently told her he needed to screen her privately, took her into an elevator to the "screening room," and while in the elevator, had her lift up her shirt so he could look inside her bra to ensure she wasn't hiding anything, and then had her hold her pants away from her waist for a check as well. He reportedly then told the woman she was free to go and said offhand that she had "nice breasts." He got 60 days in county jail, and will have to attend over 50 classes about sexual compulsion.
How many tricks can your pet do inside a minute? CNN reports a couple of border collies have set a new record of 28 tricks in a minute, in the process breaking the records for the fastest 5-meter crawl by a dog (in 2.175 seconds). They were trained by EMILY LARLHAM of El Cajon, California, who runs the dog training business Dogmantics Dog Training in San Diego, CA (website: Dogmantics.com). She is known around the world for her popular Youtube Channel ‘Kikopup’ where she has posted over 350 free in-depth dog training tutorials.
Question for your listeners (of course): What's the best trick YOUR pet can do?
Finally, a 27-year-old British woman made news over the weekend when the Daily Mail revealed that she's spent an eye-watering 20-thousand pounds ($27,363 dollars) on her collection of My Little Pony stuff since she was just three-years-old. In fact, BEATRICE SALT also shelled out money from her student loan and mortgage savings for 580 ponies. She has a whole "pony room" in her home with 39 shelves full of My Little Pony items, from roller skates, books and toy castles.
