IT'S a noble bike rack - Professor Emeritus George Smith at the University of Missouri who won the 2018 Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been allocated a unique accolade.
The 77-year-old is being granted his own bike rack to park his mode of transport - he lives less than a mile from the university and says he is "not a good driver".
Other universities usually allot a dedicated parking space to their Nobel Prize winners - Smith's rack will sport a sign defining the position as belonging to a Nobel laureate.
One uni student quipped, "Ah. He too will know the joy of complete strangers walking up to him and saying 'Hey!! Nice rack!!'"
Oh, wheely?
The legalisation of cannabis for recreational use in Canada this week has mostly gone smoothly - but as with any new initiative there have been some hiccups.
Local media have particularly enjoyed the mislabelling of an item on the website of the new Ontario Cannabis Store - including a THC-infused "intimate spray".
Said to be used to reduce genital inflammation, the store had unfortunately noted it was for "sublingual" (under-the-tongue) use - meaning it's likely to get sprayed into the wrong spot.
The Health Canada-approved $82.95 bottle of Fleur de Lune is said to yield 300 shots of mist.
