An Arizona man who spent three years building a pyramid from 1,030,315 pennies demolished the structure and cashed in the pennies at his credit union. Cory Nielsen, known on YouTube as the Penny Building Fool, finished his penny pyramid in the spring and had the structure, which did not include any glue or other adhesive, examined by a Guinness World Records official to verify it beat the record previously set in Lithuania, where a pyramid was assembled from just over 1 million pennies. Nielsen demolished the pyramid after the record was verified and Monday he loaded 6,000 pounds of coins into a pair of cargo vans. “Today, I am turning in 1,030,315 pennies,” he told KSAZ-TV. The pyramid netted Nielsen $10,303.15<\/p>\n

As many\u00a0 shift to more sustainable ways of living, avoiding unnecessary plastic and waste, in the UK, the milkman is making a comeback. Some London dairies are reporting a dramatic increase in demand for their glass bottles since 2018, and they say that\u2019s because environmentally-conscious young adults are willing to pay a little more for the service. With close to a 25% increase in two years, doorstop deliveries are now estimated to make up 3% of all milk sales in the UK.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n in prison.

I made it perfectly\u00a0(clear),\u00a0cause I remeber what it was like when we stopped 15 years ago. We were playing 4,000, 5,000 seaters. I remember that, so I was like, ‘I’ll do it cause I said I’d do it but I don’t get it,’ and the day tickets went on sale I called Clarence and said, ‘I’m sorry, you’re right.’ It was shocking to me that this is the biggest tour we’ve ever done, and there was a moment in our life where we were the biggest band in the world and this is the biggest tour we’ve ever done.
