8 foot tall robots that speak to pedestrians have replaced traffic officers at some intersections in Kinghasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. Regina Tumidajewicz of Amsterdam, NY, ran 836 road races, including 52 marathons, until retiring at age 84. For the first 7 or 8 months of their lives, baby blue whales put on 8 LBS in weight every hour! Eat em up!

I’m stunned to know the DRC having robots. (Kinsasha also has a Mormon temple in planning for construction; it was announced October 2011.)

I’m guessing Regina is related to the Chester Tumidajewicz of Amsterdam, NY whose name is often seen as a submitter to Ripley’s?
