- There is a short article today about several reported black market scams, including bulletproof vests that crumble on impact, UZI guns that melt, and a GPS system that gives the user the finger. Consumers are advised to purchase important or expensive items only from reputable stores. The article includes a short note recommending caution when purchasing pets, as several pet stores have been caught selling experimental animals, particularly a breed called Poisonous Zanzibar Hamsters. It is advised that these creatures be handled with caution, as scientists are only in the process of developing cures for the bites of these creatures.
- There is an advertisement for a Korean BBQ place opening tonight, which is offering a 50% discount for any groups of over three people paying for one tab. The place offers a nightly "mystery meat" of different types of meat with marinades that are not described on the menu, each a gastronomic delight made up on the fly by the cooks in the back room.
