- A cruise ship gave its passengers the adventure of a lifetime, just not the one they signed up for. Eight Norwegian Cruise Line passengers, who were left high and dry after missing their ship’s departure from Sao Tome and Principe on March 27, have finally resumed their coastal voyage. The group — which included several elderly folk, a paraplegic person, and a pregnant woman — traversed seven countries before ultimately catching up to the ship Tuesday in Senegal.
- The Dapper Don, AKA Christopher Kinahan Sr. — an international drug smuggler with ties to El Chapo, and one of the world’s most-wanted men — is apparently a mild-mannered diner. Authorities have linked the 67-year-old kingpin to a series of Google reviews written under the name “Christoper Vincent,” a known alias of Kinahan’s, offering insights on his whereabouts for the last five years. One review reads: “Service was good and the staff were pleasant and helpful.” Rather polite for a guy implicated in multiple murders.
- Gloria Allred wants Delta Air Lines to free the nipple. In January, passenger Lisa Archbold was kicked off a Delta flight for not wearing a bra under her shirt, allegedly violating the airline’s policy by causing “an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance.” Now, famed women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred, who called the treatment discriminatory, is joining Archbold in challenging the airline’s policy. The two have requested a meeting with Delta’s president to find a solution.
- Inmates in New York, like everyone else, want to see the solar eclipse — and they’re suing for the right to do so. The suit claims that the state corrections department’s decision to lock down prisons during the total solar eclipse on April 8 violates inmates’ constitutional rights to practice religion. The six plaintiffs are incarcerated men whose religious backgrounds include Baptist, Muslim, atheist, and Seventh-day Adventist. The rare celestial event, which is considered religiously significant to several faiths, won’t be visible from North America again until 2044.
