Bruce Springsteen has a lot of hits, which might explain his lengthy concerts. At age 66 he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Tuesday night’s show in New Jersey was 4 hours and 6 minutes, which eclipsed the 3 hour 59 minute concert. That was last Thursday. Talk about getting your money’s worth!

Three desks and chairs for $10 is a great deal. But the review section for the set on Amazon shows buyers are unhappy. There’s nothing wrong with the product — disgruntled buyers failed to read the product dimensions before checking out, and they accidentally wound up with teeny-tiny furniture made for a doll house. The product’s listing size: 8.7 x 5.5 x 1.8 inches. I mean, didn’t the $10 price tip them off that it’s too good to be true?  See the actual product Here.

74 year old Ed Flemming promised his grandson he’d go skydiving with him on his 18th birthday, but the skydiving company required anyone over 65 to get a doctor’s clearance. The doc had Ed do a stress test, which involves a treadmill pushing you to your limit. Turned out he had all 5 of his arteries blocked. Instead of skydiving he had quintuple bypass surgery. Doctors said he could’ve had a heart attack during the dive.  After he recovers he still plans on making that dive.

Bruno has become a bit of a local legend in the city of Longville, Minnesota. Every day for the past 12 years, just after sunrise, Bruno walks four miles up Highway 84 from his home into town to make the rounds, visiting city hall, the library, the ice cream shop, several real estate offices, and a grocery store, where deli workers give him meat scraps they’ve saved. Then, he hits the road and walks back home. There’s a wooden statue dedicated to him in a park, calling him “Longville’s town dog and ambassador.”

A teacher that remains anonymous has stopped assigning homework. In a note to parents the teacher penned, “Dear Parents. After much research this summer, I am trying something new. Homework will only consist of work that your student did not finish during the school day. There will be no formally assigned homework this year. Research has been unable to prove that homework improves student performance. Rather, I ask that you spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success. Eating dinner as a family, read together, play outside, and get your child to bed early.” I guess every student will be asking to be in that teacher’s class!
