Graffiti is an age-old problem.

In the UK, retired biochemist Dylan Herbert found a 1,800-year-old rock slab bearing a phallic symbol and the Latin words “secvndinvs cacor,” which loosely translates to “Secundinus the sh--ter.”

In Roman times, the phallic symbol was used for good luck or fertility.

A body-art-obsessed dude who holds the Guinness World Record for the most square tattoos said he was sneezing black ink after a facial tat session.

Matt Gone, known as the human checkerboard with 848 black squares tattooed on his body, told the Guinness YouTube channel, “I sneezed up black ink for about 20 minutes after that and it was the most painful thing I’d ever been through.”

“There are little cubes of the original liquid from which that salt grew. And the surprise for us is that we also saw shapes that are consistent with what we would expect from microorganisms,” said West Virginia University geologist Kathy Benison.

The Golden State experienced some record-breaking heat — at its chili-pepper-eating contest.

Gregory Foster broke a Guinness World Record by eating three Carolina Reaper chili peppers in San Diego in 8.72 seconds.

The Carolina Reaper has an average of 1,641,183 “Scoville Heat Units,” compared to 2,500-8,000 for the average jalapeño.
