1 mummified monkey
The renovation of an old Dayton’s department store in Minneapolis went awry when workers found a mummified monkey in an air duct on the seventh floor of the building. It turns out that, according to someone who knew someone who worked in the building, there was a rumor that a monkey escaped from a pet store on the eighth floor in the 1960s.
It’s a bit odd that nobody bothered to follow up on that lead back in the day, right? That certainly seems like the kind of thing worth investigating — you know, before conceding the air quality of part of your establishment to a slowly deteriorating ape? [The Associated Press]

112 years old
Masazo Nonaka of Japan, a former farmer and lumberjack, has officially taken the title of world’s oldest man. The previous man to hold that title, Francisco Nunez Olivera of Spain, died at 113 earlier this year. Nonaka likes spas and cake, just like I do, which I assume means I am effectively immortal.
