Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise who lives in the British overseas territory of St. Helena, celebrated his 190th birthday this month with a party and a crudité platter fit for a near-bicentenarian. While Jonathan's estimated birth year is 1832 — when Andrew Jackson was president — it is likely that he is even older, according to Guinness World Records.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's … over before it even began. The Hollywood Reporter has dropped a bombshell report revealing a third Wonder Woman film has been canceled. But the report also insinuates the entire DC film universe might be reset under new bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran — and Henry Cavill's Superman could be on the chopping block.
The article refers to several "rumors and possible scenarios" about DC's future, one in which plans for a Man of Steel sequel starring Cavill are canceled, and although Cavill apparently shot a cameo for next year's The Flash, there's reportedly talk of removing it. This is despite the fact that Cavill just returned as Superman in Black Adam via a cameo that The Rock hyped for weeks — and after the movie's debut, Cavill explicitly proclaimed on Instagram, "I am back as Superman." Hopefully, everyone savored that 15 second appearance, as Cavill may be headed right back to the Phantom Zone.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - The original name for Eggo waffles was Froffles . . . as in "frozen waffles." But people called them Eggos because they tasted a little like eggs, and two years later that became their official name.
L'eggo My Froffle doesn't have the same ring.
