Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, scientists find a Ninjatitan  

Scientists have unearthed fossils of a huge Ninjatitan dinosaur that lived 140 million years ago in Argentina. Researchers believe it may be the oldest-known member of the dinosaur group known as titanosaurs that includes the largest land animals in Earth’s history. Titanosaurs are a group of long-necked plant-eating dinosaurs that walked on four pillar-like legs. So, like most vegetarians, they looked down on meat-eaters. (Additional out) If you’re wondering why this one is called a ninjatitan, that’s because scientists are nerds and nerds like ninjas.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, why members of his own party are now calling for this governor to resign

The New York Times published the account along with a photo with his hands on her face. Representative Kathleen Rice became the first Democrat in the New York congressional delegation to call for Cuomo’s resignation. It doesn’t help his cause that he definitely looks like someone who does this. (Additional out) Now he’ll pledge to do better, resign in disgrace, wait for the new cycle to move on, schedule an apology tour and then attempt a comeback.

To get the ‘most benefit in terms of prevention of major chronic disease’ two of those five servings should be fruit, while the other three should focus on veggies. Quick question for a friend, how many servings of veggies does a Bloody Mary count for? (Additional out) And sadly skittles and french fries don’t count as fruits and veggies.
