A guy from Canada broke a world record by eating almost two-and-a-half pounds of Sriracha in three minutes. If you really like hot sauce, it might not be too hard to chug it. But the rules said he had to eat it with a teaspoon.
He said he wasn't too worried about it destroying his digestive tract. He loves hot stuff and said he's "never experienced burn-butt before."

Apple has just announced they're making another one of their older iPhone models obsolete.
"Products are considered obsolete when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 7 years ago," an explainer on the Apple website reads.
"Apple discontinues all hardware service for obsolete products, and service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products."
If you're the owner of an iPhone 6, you might want to look at your upgrade options.
Released back in September 2014, the phone has been classed as a vintage model for a number of years - but it would appear it's time is up.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - Only two people have ever played in the World Series and a college basketball Final Four: Tim Stoddard did it with North Carolina State and the Baltimore Orioles . . . and Kenny Lofton did it with the University of Arizona and Cleveland Indians.
