A contentious sporting loss in the USA this week has seen an optometrist offering free eye examinations for officials.
The "heartbreaking" National Football League (NFL) match between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams ended in Los Angeles taking out the win with a score of 26-23 in overtime.
However many fans complained about a "blatant interference penalty" which was not pulled up by the referees.
In the wake of the game, which meant New Orleans missed out on going to the Superbowl, Louisiana Family Eyecare tweeted that it would "GLADLY provide no cost eye exams to all NFL officals prior to next season to prevent the atrocity that occurred tonight.
"We would hate for someone else to feel our pain," the optometrist said.
Meanwhile on the other side of the Atlantic comes some new drugs research from Kings College London indicating that eels in the city's River Thames are becoming "hyperactive" due to high concentrations of cocaine.
Scientists studied wastewater entering the river from nearby sewers during storms and found traces of the illicit drug remained up to 24 hours after the overflow.
"Compared to other major cities, the level of cocaine entering London's water system - likely through users' urine - is much higher," they wrote, saying this indicated likely daily usage.
Interestingly, the monitoring station used to measure levels was located near the British Houses of Parliament.
