The Akron Zoo in Ohio says its Galapagos tortoises weren't feeling frisky during the solar eclipse. In years past, the zoo says when an eclipse happened, the tortoises would begin to breed.

A judge is dismissing a lawsuit a man filed against members of a Facebook dating group who called him a bad date. Stewart Murray is apparently bad, but he accused members of the private group called "Are We Dating The Same Guy?" of defamation, libel, sex-based discrimination and more. On Monday, a judge ruled there is no evidence of conspiracy and granted an anti-SLAPP motion, which aims to prevent people who speak out from being silenced. The judge also says, based on the evidence, there is no possibility of Murray winning against any of the defendants on any of his claims.
