Not light hearted, but not political either.

Tobacco leaves traces in the bones of smokers lasting not only throughout their lives but for centuries after their deaths, research by archaeologists has revealed.
Researchers from the University of Leicester have studied human remains buried in Britain between the 12th and 19th centuries, revealing the profound impact of tobacco on bones and its link to bone-related conditions, such as an increased risk of fractures.

Not that lighy hearted, but not sur e where to put it. Sad news about man who was a credit to hi sport..
Six-time Olympic cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy has announced that his cancer is terminal.
In an interview with the Sunday Times,, external he says doctors have told him he has between two and four years to live.
The 48-year-old Scot revealed earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
Hoy told the newspaper he has known for a year that his cancer is terminal.
Hoy won six Olympic golds between 2004 and 2012 and is the third most decorated British Olympian of all time.
He retired from cycling in 2013 and in recent years has been a regular pundit and commentator as part of BBC Sport's cycling coverage.
He had not previously disclosed the type of cancer.
But he told the Times that he had been diagnosed with primary cancer in his prostate, which had spread to his bones - meaning it was stage four.
Tumours were discovered to his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine and rib.
Sir Chris told the newspaper: "As unnatural as it feels, this is nature.
"You know, we were all born and we all die, and this is just part of the process.
"You remind yourself, aren't I lucky that there is medicine I can take that will fend this off for as long as possible."

That's a real shame
He's of course a legend in cycling, he also drove at Le Mans and I've heard from quite a few people who know him IRL that he's a top bloke. Watching the Olympics this year he was also one of the few pundits who actually said something worth listening to.

The most ridiculous food recall in the entire history of eating:
https://www.foodandwine.com/costco-kirk ... ll-8742337
80,000 pounds of Costco butter was just recalled, because the label doesn't say that it contains milk.
It's butter.
News articles are telling people how they can return, or safely dispose of, the butter.
It's butter...
