Puppy Discovers New Element

Kaiser Whitaker, a local area puppy and doctoral student in the field of applied physical chemisty at MIT, has discovered a new element.  "Barkchewium,“ as it is being called while awaiting official designation from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, is the densest element ever discovered.

"We found that Barkchewium is so dense,” said Dr. Amos Trujillo, the head of Whitaker’s doctoral dissertation committee, “that Kaiser was able to chew on it for over a week without damaging it at all.  It’s really exciting.”

Dogs Take Over Drive-Time Slot at Local Radio Station

CBS Radio affiliate 690 AM, The Buzz, in Chicago has awarded its coveted afternoon drive-time slot to comedy duo Andy and Biff.  The two boxer dogs cut their teeth at 99.7 WXKL in Oklahoma City where they boosted that station from a distant fourth place in the local market, to first in total listenership and ad revenue per hour.  

“Dog friendly workplaces are on the rise in Chicago, which means a growing number of canine commuters,” said station representative Stuart Patton.  "Andy and Biff are going to help us to crack into that demographic.“
