Illinois Law Rejected by Supreme Court

The appeal of an Illinois law prohibiting the public from recording police officers during duty was rejected on Monday by the Supreme Court. This law makes audio recording an officer on duty a felony, punishable to up to 15 years. The justices passed off the  case to a federal appeals court. Court ruling found that "the state's anti-eavesdropping law violate's free-speech rights when used against people who audiotape police officers." People in Illinois are currently allowed to photograph, film, even quote police officers while they're on duty, but are strictly forbidden from audio recording them. This Illinois law has been especially controversial in the last year. In Auust 2011, a woman was charged with recording Chicago police officers she believed were talk her out of filing a sexual hurasment complain against a patrol officer. Judges later declared the law unconstituational.

The Good Giraffe

A creative giraffe has been making Scotland a better place for the past six months. The self proclaimed "Good Giraffe" has been carrying out random acts of kindness twice a week in his homemade giraffe costume. He has bought gifts for needy children, cleaned litter and animal cages in animal shelter, and handed out free coffee! Besides being a local superhero, Armstrong Baillie is a normal 32 year old Scotland local. The Good Giraffe gives out cards with his phone number and asks people to text him ideas for ways he can help out. He says the giraffe costume suits his personality; "My head is in the clouds but my heart is in the right place."

Endless Bacon, Now A Thing

Apparently some culinary genius got his hands on a 3-D printer! Bacon has now taken a new form; the infinite mobius shape. These bacon strips are technically endless, with no boundaries and half the surfaces. Endless bacon seems like a grand business idea, doesn't it? Nope. 3-D printer cartridges don't have much flavor. Mobius shaped bacon isn't edible! But it still still looks cool so it's being sold online for $19 a strip. If you're too cheap for this kind of investment, just buy some meat glue and twist the ends of your bacon together. You can buy meat glue online too.
