Leading off, and fifty years between novels is incredible, it's the Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka Discusses His First Novel in Nearly Fifty Years.

So much is wrong here: A lost hiker ignored rescuers' phone calls, thinking they were spam. Achievable goals: Man announces he will quit drinking by 2050

From Wally, and this might be useful (except I haven't even heard of most of these breeds): The Naughtiest and Best-Behaved Dog Breeds, According to Instagram.
