STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
Half the world will need glasses by 2050, says a guy who knows this kind of stuff. Rochester Institute of Technology vision scientist Andrew Herbert wrote in an article that some even consider myopia, also known as nearsightedness, an epidemic. If current trends continue, about half of the global population will need corrective lenses to offset myopia by 2050. That’s up from 23% in 2000. Recent studies show that that an important reason for the uptick in myopia is that people are spending more time focusing on objects immediately in front of our eyes, such as screens. The more time we spend focusing on something that close, known as “near work,” the greater the odds of having myopia.

There
are twice as many pyramids in Sudan then there are in Egypt. Sudan
has somewhere between 200 to 255 pyramids, while Egypt is home to
just 118 to 138 of them. So how did so many pyramids end up down in
Sudan? From 3,000 BC, Egypt’s armies were sent south to conquer
whoever they found, reaching as far as modern-day Sudan. There they
lorded over the locals until the Egyptian empire collapsed in 1,070
BC, but their influence remained for much longer.

The man who attacked Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl in 2022, has sued the venue and its security for battery and negligence. In legal documents, Isaiah Lee identifies himself as bisexual and claims he was “upset by the discriminatory nature of the comedian’s jokes and rushed the stage in protest”. That’s when he says that the security company “began beating” him “ruthlessly.” He also claims the company “allowed members of the comedian’s entourage, encouraged by the comedian, to beat” him. Lee is not suing Chappelle himself.
Drew Carey says you’ll have to pry his gig hosting “The Price Is Right” from his cold dead hands. Speaking at CBS’ fall schedule celebration, he revealed he has no plans of retiring from his post — ever. Carey said to People: “Thoughts of dying on stage with a microphone in my hand have gone through my mind. I never want to leave. I’m having such a good time there. Everybody treats me great.” He pointed out that at age 65, he appreciates that he’s in an enviable position and he wants to “keep that going” as long as he can.
SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
McDonald’s is getting set to release its biggest-ever hamburger. CFO Ian Borden confirmed last week that the company has “created a larger satiating burger” that will be rolled out worldwide. No word on when, but we can expect the beefed-up burger sooner rather than later. A McDonald’s hamburger patty currently weighs in at 1.6 ounces (45g) and comes on a bun which is around 4 inches (10cm) in diameter. The Big Mac is made with 2 patties served on a 3-slice sesame seed bun. It’s unknown how big the new burger will be.
A US sandwich chain has partnered with a Bloody Mary mix maker to create “Brunch in a Cup” – just in time for Mother’s Day. Jimmy John’s and Zing Zang’s new collab brings together sandwiches and Bloody Marys, using the brands’ “Jimmy Pickle Bloody Mary Mix”, a custom glass that says “mama approved,” a Bloody Mary recipe, and a huge skewer to hold a large pickle and sandwich from Jimmy John’s. The pickle and sandwich are sold separately, but there also is a gift card in the box. One of the staples of the Jimmy John’s menu is its jumbo pickles. Zig Zang used juice from the pickles to create the Bloody Mary mix. The kit will set you back $35. LINK: https://store.jimmyjohns.com/

Today’s report is from the International File in London, England. In a classic case of self-arrest, our criminal dialed 999, the British equivalent of 911, and told the operator he’d had a rough weekend. He went on to say he was drunk and “didn’t know what he was doing.” Fortunately, he knew enough to pull over to the side of the road, where the police found him shortly thereafter. Busted! And charged with drunken driving.
