Some restaurants refuse to serve ketchup. In Chicago, it's even a tradition to tease people who enjoy ketchup on their hot dogs.

"The history of the Chicago-style hot dog never included that. Tomatoes are already on the hot dog, which is a more natural form of that vegetable, anyway," Tom McGlade, a onetime spokesperson for Vienna Beef has said. — Read the rest

Alex Ford, UK Marine Biology professor at the University of Portsmouth, says that when the sewage treatment plant at Hampshire's Langstone Habor, on the southern coast of England, becomes overloaded, it spills raw sewage into the harbor. That means that it's dumping not just human excrement, but also the drugs that excrement contains, including contraceptives, anti-depressants, and cocaine. — Read the rest
