A man in the UK has been infected with super-gonorrhoea
In not-so-funny news, a UK man has been infected with super-gonorrhoea, a strain resistant to all types of antibiotics. Apparently, the WHO issued a report in July 2018 about drug-resistant gonorrhoea that is cropping up in 77 countries. In 81 percent of the countries, the infections were resistant to azithromycin, while 66 percent found an increased resistance to ceftriaxone. An assistant professor at Harvard says the latest case is “very concerning.” Experts blame the overuse of antibiotics.

Colorado girl scout uses pictures of Jason Momoa to sell cookies
A Colorado girl scout came up with a marketing campaign to help her sell cookies. Charlotte Holmberg did a redesign of the classic cookie box by sticking on a photo of Jason Momoa sans shirt. Girl Scouts are famous for selling Samoas, a type of US cookie, but now she is selling Momoas instead. This will definitely increase her female buying quotient with the “Aquaman” staring back at them. The idea came from her marketing professional mother, who spotted the image on Facebook.
Who needs Samoas when you can have Momoas? 💁 https://t.co/7rLS90kmi1

In terrifying news, a whistleblower has announced that visitors to the museum in the Grand Canyon during the years from 2000 and 18 June 2018 were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. This is from three paint buckets in the building containing uranium ore. The park’s safety director says nothing was done to warn visitors or park workers of the dangers of being exposed to unsafe levels of radiation. Reportedly one bucket was so full, they couldn’t close its lid.
