Total Eclipse of My Parts Suspicions Confirmed

In what is apparently a regular prank in Mexico, someone submitted an adults-only video clip of their view of the eclipse on April 8 to an RCG Media news program, the New York Post reported. But this particular clip was of a man blocking out the sun with his testicles.

While the male anchor read on from a list of locations where people could watch the celestial phenomenon, one of the two female anchors gasped as the crude image flashed on the screen. The male anchor then apologized; an X user with the name Rhevolver took gleeful responsibility for the joke.

NASA revealed on April 17 that the object that crashed through the roof of a home in

Naples, Florida, was indeed space trash — specifically, garbage jettisoned from the International Space Station in March 2021. United Press International reported that on March 8, a 1.6-pound, 4-inch-long cylindrical object came through Alejandro Otero’s roof. NASA said the object was what remained of a 5,800-pound pallet of depleted nickel hydride batteries. “The hardware was expected to fully burn up during entry into the Earth’s atmosphere,” NASA

said. “However, a piece of hardware survived reentry.”

Crime Report

On April 9, investigators caught their targets in a puzzling money-making scheme in Rochelle Park, New Jersey. NBC New York reported that Detective Nick Mercoun and his partner arrested 77-year-old Alfredo Rodriguez and 54-year-old Hector Cortes, whom they dubbed the Shopping Cart Bandits.

The two had stolen at least 140 carts from the Shoprite grocery, which Mercoun believes they were selling for about $200 wholesale. “It was about $28,000 worth of shopping carts,” he said. The Food Marketing Institute estimates that 2 million shopping carts are stolen each year. Who knew? Rodriguez and Cortes are rolling along at the Bergen County Jail.
