6 injuries

Six people were injured on a British cruise ship bound for Norway in a “mass brawl” involving a 43-year old man, a 41-year-old woman, a “black-tie evening,” “large amounts of alcohol,” and “a passenger taking offence at another holidaymaker dressed as a clown.”

While the cruise line denied that there was anyone aboard dressed as a clown, this is basically exactly how I envision all cruises to be, and thus why I remain to this day a land lover. [BBC]

4.63 inches of rain

Las Vegas has experienced 4.63 inches of rain this year, well above its typical 2.38 inches. This has occasioned a grasshopper invasion in the desert. On weather radar, it appeared that there were two storms over the city: one was an actual storm, and the other was the “massive hordes of grasshoppers” that have recently made Sin City their new, damp home.

$40 million

“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Quentin Tarantino’s essentially plotless movie about the late ’60s, Westerns, the Manson Family and people lighting cigarettes, made $40 million from 3,659 North American theaters, a career best for Tarantino. It finished second to “The Lion King” retread, a movie about lions, which pulled in $76 million. [Variety]
