NEWS OF THE STRANGE Inside the café where staff aggressively threw a block of cheese at a customer Image Source:  Frederica Miller When we enter a dining establishment, I'm sure we all expect generally the same experience: a polite staff and edible food are the baselines for any restaurant or cafe. The social contract demands that we all treat each other with respect, especially customers patronizing our establishments.   Well, the staff of this particular London café apparently never got that memo. Or, if they did, they interpreted "treat others as you want to be treated" as "menace strangers with a frying pan and a block of cheese."   Being ranked 1845th of the 1845 "Quick Bites" spots in London, it's a wonder this place has any business — especially when the staff apparently serves only moldy bread and unbridled rage for lunch.

TECH UPDATE Latest Astra rocket launch failed to reach orbit. This is what happened Image source: Space News The space company Astra attempted to send another rocket into orbit last week, only to have the attempt end in a failure yet again.    Upon launching, the rocket was seen sliding sideways, before correcting itself for its attempt to reach orbit. The noticeable slide was blamed on one of the engines failing to fire just one second into the launch.    After this issue was corrected, the rocket continued its launch and was able to reach an altitude of 31 miles before a flight safety crew shut the launch down. The engines were purposely stalled 2:28 into the launch and the rocket returned to the ground safely.    So, what ultimately caused the launch to be aborted so abruptly?  More Technology News   If you buy the iPhone 13, you may not need cell service to make texts and calls GoPro has a new camera on the way and it could offer a huge image quality upgrade Very soon you'll be able to experience a spacewalk through virtual reality THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME The most famous home in every state in America Though the U.S. might not have the centuries-old cathedrals of our European cousins, our country's history does comprise a broad array of styles of architecture, which are exhibited all across the nation.

That was the beginning Image Source: Gary Sweeney Here's one you won't want to read in the dark.   Dorothy Forstein was a well-liked member of her community, a devoted wife and mother, and a caring friend. She was described as a happy, outgoing woman. Certainly not someone with enemies.   On January 25, 1945, Dorothy had left her children in the care of neighbors so she could do some shopping. She was seen around town by various people, notably a Mrs. Townley who said she saw a strange man following Dorothy. Dorothy was attacked as she entered her three-story home by someone who knocked her down and began to beat her; when she fell, she dislodged the telephone. The operator called the police after hearing the attack.   The attacker disappeared when the sirens sounded. Police said it was a murder attempt. And five years later, Dorothy would disappear.
