The goal is to have the job completed in just 10 minutes, but they've not been able to figure out how to stop the robot from angrily tossing assembly pieces across the room and having parts left over. A British teenager struggling with an essay on an Ian McEwen book didn't get a really good grade even though he got help from the author himself, who happened to be his dad. The award-winning British author says he feels a little dubious about his books being studied in school. His son, Greg, had to read McEwen's novel Enduring Love as homework. Mr. McEwen said, �I confess, I did give him a tutorial and told him what he should consider. I didn't read his essay, but it turned out his teacher disagreed fundamentally with what he said. The teacher gave Greg a C-plus for the essay. In Mobile, Alabama, a 13-year-old who had been declared brain-dead woke up shortly after his parents signed organ donation papers.

A 92-year-old woman in the UK sought help for an addiction. Booze? Nope. Cats? Nuh-uh. The great-grandmother told her doctor she is addicted to email. She told her doctor that she is so addicted she will sometimes check her email inbox six times a day. Six? Yeah, get her into rehab! Idaho State University has got a real problem on their hands. They've admitted to misplacing a gram of weapons-style plutonium and federal authorities want to find them $8,500. The university has not been able to account for the bit of radioactive material since 2003, but, nonetheless, believes it was properly stored at a licensed disposal facility. However, with no documented proof, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it must propose the fine. The first place I'd look for plutonium is the house of that weird scientist guy who built a shoddy lookalike bomb using used pinball machine parts. One in three employees admits they have been to work with a hangover. The other two develop their hangover while at work. John McCain has let it be known that he wants Vice President Mike Pence to attend his funeral but not President Trump. Old age can make people cantankerous.

Mitt Romney says his favorite meat is a hot dog. I'm assuming his favorite fruit is rollups. President Trump's ex-wife Ivana made an appearance over the weekend on Italy's version of Dancing with the Stars. She credits her incredible dancing skills on watching her ex-husband, Donald, dancing around questions from reporters. Vladimir Putin was sworn in for his fourth term as president of Russia on Monday. He's scheduled to win his fourth election later this year. Disgraced televangelist Jim Baker is back at it. Now he's selling cabins in Missouri that he calls Safe from the Apocalypse. And if you act now, he'll also send you a holy welcome mat for that cabin, soaked overnight in holy water and personally blessed by Jim Baker himself. Hallelujah! In Franklin, Indiana, Barry K. Ridge has been arrested for driving his riding lawnmower while drunk. Apparently believing the old adage that if at first you don't succeed, try try again, Mr. Ridge gave it another go on Saturday, so once again was arrested by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's deputy was sent to a Franklin home around 5.15 p.m. after a caller said a man wearing a neon green shirt riding a red lawnmower pulled into his yard and began to mow his grass. It was Mr. Ridge and the officer said his eyes appeared glassy. According to the police report, Ridge's breath test at the Johnson County Jail registered 0.165. The legal limit in Indiana is 0.08. Ridge is already awaiting trial on a DWI arrest from April 8, 2018 where he was reportedly on his lawnmower in a Kroger parking lot causing it disturbance. Sounds like somebody needs to have their driver's license taken away and have his mowing privileges revoked. According to research from Mount Sinai, St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital, New York, those who have a higher sense of purpose in life and believe their lives are useful appear to live longer. Though it is not clear why, believing there is a reason that you are here on Earth lowers your risk of death and your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Fortunately, I was able to identify my reason for being on Earth a long time ago. Netflix and Cheetos Fitbit is adding menstrual cycle tracking in its smartwatch app. Looks like I need to get that app. With a description like Menstrual, it must be great for men. Michelle Obama has said again that she will not be running for any office in 2020. She's denying it like every other day, so obviously she is planning a run for the White House in 2020.
