A grand old tradition bites the dust

For the times they are a-changing, as Ananova reports:

Under an ancient by-law, which has never been repealed, York people can "legally" shoot Scotsmen with a bow and arrow within the city walls.

But a couple from the city are walking 240 miles to Edinburgh to present the Lord Provost with a "peace treaty".

Ewan and Gill Main have asked York residents to sign their treaty in a bid to improve Anglo-Scottish relations, and raise money for Survive, a charity which helps child victims of sexual abuse, .

Each signatory must promise to never shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow, and to make Scots feel welcome in York.

Try not to get gas when it's hot

Alice Hill of Real Tech News explains:

Because gas expands in the heat, most pumps do not adjust for that and serve up hot fuel that ends up being costly hot air to the motorist who pumps it. In Arizona, if you buy in increments of 5,000 gallons you will get an adjusted pump, but that leaves the average motorist out of luck.

Minnesota has the coolest gas in the country, which saves Minnesotans $37 million a year. Via Fark
