If you need another reason to enjoy the fall colors, here you go: New research suggests running in the woods can boost your workout. People who went for a 30-minute run in a forest covered more ground than those running for the same amount of time in an urban setting. They were also more enthusiastic about doing another workout later. And you don’t have to be a runner to benefit. Experts say even a leisurely walk among the trees or some forest bathing can offer relaxing, meditative benefits.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Fox‘s update of “Baywatch” is not trying to reinvent the original show: The cast is again made up of very attractive people playing Los Angeles lifeguards, and it’s going to mix high-stakes rescues and personal drama. A new full-length trailer further drives home the point. After all, why mess with what, as the video notes, was once the most popular show in the world? Soundtracked to the original show’s theme song ‘I’m Always Here’, the trailer features a small plane crash, a wildfire in the hills near the beach, an exploding lifeguard tower, and a healthy bit of interpersonal drama between the team. Baywatch will premiere in January. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/uzm237sd
Ryan Coogler‘s “X-Files” reboot has been picked up to series by Hulu. A reimagining of the 1990s sci-fi drama, the show will star Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel as “two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena,” according to the logline. A source says that Deadwyler and Patel will be playing new characters, rather than iterations of Gillian Anderson’s ‘Dana Scully’ and David Duchovny’s ‘Fox Mulder’.

OF THE DAY
Photographers are warning parents to think twice before using AI to remove watermarks from school photos to avoid paying for them. Welsh photographer Ian Gilbert says he’s noticed about a quarter of his photos being copied this way, costing him…and schools…money. But there’s another concern: uploading pictures of children to AI tools could expose their images to privacy risks, including potential leaks or reuse, storing, sharing, or reusing those images to train future AI models. And beyond the privacy concerns, removing watermarks without permission can be a violation of copyright law. So parents may save a few dollars, but risk much more.

✓ Camels are called "ships of the desert" because of the way they move, not because of their transport capabilities. A Dromedary camel has one hump and a Bactrian camel two humps. The humps are used as fat storage. Thus, an undernourished camel will not have a hump.
✓ In the Durango desert, in Mexico, there's a creepy spot called the "Zone of Silence." You can't pick up clear TV or radio signals. And locals say fireballs sometimes appear in the sky.

WEIRD NEWS
Workers sifting through returns at a British Columbia library discovered a dusty tome without a barcode was 43 years overdue. The Greater Victoria Public Library said the book, a copy of Herman Wouk's 1978 novel War and Remembrance, arrived at the facility earlier this month and immediately stood out. The book was dusty, had a cracked spine and lacked a barcode, but still had a paper check-out card inside revealing it had been due back at the Oak Bay branch on Sept. 1, 1983. The tome was returned without a note or any other explanation for why its return was delayed for 43 years. Librarians said borrowing records are regularly purged, so the book borrower's identity remains a mystery. "We're very happy that someone had the courage or conscience to bring it back," Delia Filipescu, the library's coordinator of branch operations, told the Times Colonist newspaper. Filipescu estimated the book would have accrued about $3,100 worth of late fees under the old system of 20 cents per day, but the library does not intend to pursue any collections. The tome is among the most overdue books in the library's history, but doesn't take the top spot: a copy of Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town by Stephen Leacock that was checked out in 1916 was returned 82 years later in 1998. https://www.upi.com/Odd_News

THE LIST
6 BODY PARTS YOU PROBABLY DON’T NEED:
The human body has its own junk drawer: body parts left over from our evolutionary past that we can often live without. Some can cause painful problems, while others are already disappearing, with many people born without them…
1. Appendix: This small pouch attached to the large intestine can become dangerously inflamed and require emergency surgery. Once considered useless, it appears to help support the immune system and store beneficial gut bacteria. But following surgery, you can live a completely normal and healthy life without one.
2. Gallbladder: This organ stores bile, which helps digest fats. If gallstones cause painful attacks or blockages, it can be removed — and your liver will keep producing bile, allowing digestion to continue without it.
3. Tonsils: These 2 lumps at the back of your throat help catch germs entering through your mouth and nose. But if they become repeatedly infected or grow large enough to interfere with breathing and sleep, doctors may recommend removing them.
4. Wisdom Teeth: Our ancestors needed these extra molars to chew tough, uncooked foods. Today, our jaws often lack room for them, leading to painful impaction, crowding and decay. About 20% of people never develop wisdom teeth at all.
5. Palmaris Longus (Forearm Muscle): This slender muscle may once have helped our ancestors climb trees and swing from branches. Today, up to 25% of people are born without it, and its absence doesn’t appear to affect grip strength. Check your wrist – you might be missing it!
6. Plantaris (Leg Muscle): This small muscle runs down the back of your lower leg and can tear during activity, causing sharp pain known as “tennis leg.” Seven to 16% of people are born without it, though some researchers believe it still contributes to balance and movement.
