1. Mayor Los Dedos del Tamaño Sorprendente was appointed to the United States Conference of Mayors’ metro economics committee. Apparently that means he’s one of their chief lobbyists now.

2. David Slick, a student at Dallas Baptist University, juggled three tennis balls for an extended period of time, setting a record in the “Juggling Three Objects Nonstop” category of the Guinness World Records. Quick, slightly related question: is Dallas Baptist an all-male college?
