SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
We definitely love our pets…just not everywhere. A new survey of 2,000 people (in the US) found the biggest objections to pets being present come when food or health care is involved. Restaurants topped the list, with 48% saying they’d be irritated to see a pet while eating. Grocery stores came next at 45%, followed by doctors’ offices and hospitals at 39%. Coffee shops were at 32%, while 29% objected to pets in workplaces and offices. The numbers dropped for airplanes at 27%, arenas and stadiums at 26%, and public transit at 22%. Hotels and public beaches tied for last at 18%. So apparently, Fido is welcome… just maybe not with your entrée…or your operation.

Time for a vocal warm-up because a “Glee” reboot may be closer than you think. Co-creator Ryan Murphy revealed Wednesday that he has “just finished” a reboot script. The show was a critical darling that ran for 6 seasons from 2009-15, earning 6 Emmy Awards, 4 Golden Globe Awards and the 2009 Screen Actors Guild Award. Murphy told “Entertainment Tonight”: “We have a script. Brad [Falchuk], Ian [Brennan] and I, who wrote all the first 2 seasons, have written something.” He also said he has “been in touch” with about 10 original cast members, who “all were very enthusiastic about the idea.”

OF THE DAY
A rare Pokémon Pikachu Illustrator card has sold for a whopping $5 million at auction. The card went for $4 million at Heritage Auctions in Texas, with the buyer’s premium pushing the final price to $5 million. Only 39 were ever produced after a 1998 illustration contest in Japan. This particular card, graded PSA 9, is one of just 15 at that grade. The artwork was created by Atsuko Nishida, the original designer of Pikachu.
Your kid could either be wasting their time playing video games … or getting a college scholarship for it! Esports scholarships are becoming increasingly common in the US, with high school gamers being recruited much like traditional athletes. According to the North America Scholastic eSports Federation, more than 3,000 schools now offer eSports programs ranging from clubs to varsity teams. The National Association of Collegiate Esports, founded in 2016, now includes more than 16,000 student-athletes. Scholarships can range from $20,000 to $30,000, and at one recent New Jersey recruiting event, 29 colleges offered 181 scholarships worth $99,000. Two gamers even landed full rides. Of course, these aren’t casual gamers playing in their parents’ basement – reaching the professional level is extremely difficult. Still, if your dad told you all that gaming would never amount to anything.

WEIRD NEWS
Just so you’re aware, there’s an app called “RunPee” that tells you the best time to leave your seat at a movie theater to pee without missing anything important. It syncs with the movie, counts down to a suitable pee-time, vibrates when it is safe to “go”, AND tells you what you missed when you return to your seat.
