Bad week for:

Gandhi, whose ashes were stolen from a memorial in India on what would have been his 150th birthday. Police say the thief objected to Gandhi’s advocacy of Hindu-Muslim unity, and thus may be charged with behavior “prejudicial to national integration.” Alagba the tortoise, a fixture in the royal palace at Ogbomosho, Nigeria, who died last week after a “short illness.” The royals claim that Alagba was born in 1675, making her 344 years old. Americans, 1 in 4 of whom claim never to have eaten a vegetable, according to a survey sponsored by VeggieTracker.com. “While more and more people are adopting plant-based diets,” said CEO Larry Praeger, “there’s still a long way to go toward reaching recommended consumption levels.”
