Chickens will not be making their way into Chatham-Kent backyards anytime soon. 
On Monday night council voted against a motion that to have administration bring a report back to council regarding urban chickens, along with a draft by-law that would have allowed up to four chickens per single-family dwelling in urban and rural residential areas.
The idea was brought back after 7 years, still receiving a no.
NASA is offering $35,000 in prizes to whoever can design a ‘Lunar Loo’. 
As part of the space agency’s Artemis programme, NASA is working towards inventing a portable moon toilet.
The pipes must be fully functioning with plumbing integrity, working well enough for a duo of astronauts to do their business for the two-week duration of their time spent on the moon.
Entry submissions close on August 17th, so get started on those diagrams soon if you think you’ve got what it takes. Head to the competition website, to check out the full specs.
Fruit Loops has debuted a new tropical cereal that has pineapple, banana, orange and mango flavors. Froot Loops Tropical is going to be available for a limited time in the United States
We have to give props to Kellogg’s for making the tropical cereal so … tropical-looking. The box is bright orange with Toucan Sam in a Hawaiian shirt.
While regular Froot Loops all taste the same, the tropical version has actual distinct flavors. The yellow, orange, and green sweetened multigrain rings are pineapple-, banana-, orange-, and mango-flavored.
