What the Hell Theater - 8/17

The owners of the Aqueduct Race Track, New York City's first casino, said the grand opening has been delayed due to pigeon poop in the building. Genting Resorts World New York said the more than $15 million it has spent to clean up the building, which first opened in 1894, includes funds for removing pigeon droppings from the floors, ceilings and walls of the facility. The company said the grand opening of the casino has been pushed back to fall, in part due to the pigeon poo cleanup efforts.



Looking for a deal on a Swiss Army knife? Or maybe a rolling pin? Those are among items seized at security checkpoints at Oklahoma airports. Knives are banned on airline flights for obvious reasons, while rolling pins are a no-no because they can be used as clubs. Bowling balls and souvenir bricks are also banned in carry-on bags. About every six months the boxes of pocket knives and other forbidden items are picked up by state officials to be sold at auction.
