Hot-sub safari at new Rhino’s
Hero, hoagie, wedge, bomber, grinder, po’ boy, torpedo, submarine, zep — whatever you call them, the problem with a takeout sandwich is that by the time you get it home, the bread is all soggy and limp. So plan on staying when you order any variety at Rhino Subs, the yellow building at 805 Lee…

Safety catches
As part of a government initiative to produce safer new products, a guy in Oregon developed a saw that can tell if a human finger is in front of it. The electrical charge of the body makes the saw stop before it chops off a digit. According to the Associated Press, “When its maker demonstrated…

In recent New York City art auctions, according to a May report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Tom Friedman’s “Untitled” (a Styrofoam cup of evaporated-coffee stains, pinned to a piece of wood along with a ladybug) went for $30,000 at Phillips Auctioneers; Robert Gober’s “Broom Sink” (a fancifully constructed wash basin) earned nearly $500,000; and…
