A Louisiana labrador has licked her way into a world record. A puppy named Zoey has broken the Guinness world record by having a tongue five inches long. Her owners always thought she had an abnormally large tongue but they didn't think it world-breaking until they went to the vet last year. A dog from Arizona previously held the record with a 3.74 inch tongue. Zoey's owners say they always have to warn people about her tongue because she'll slobber all over them.

Neighbors have grown weary in Geary--Geary, California, that is. They're literally tired--thanks to non-stop classical music blaring from a metal speaker on a security camera tower in the parking lot of the local Bay Area Safeway store. It's used to deter loitering. But it's also annoying the neighbors and keeping them up at night. There had been a multitude of complaints made to the stores landlords, but the music stayed at full volume. Finally, the store manager responded to complaints and turned the music down yesterday morning, allowing residents to catch up on some much needed sleep.
