Today is Wednesday, December 4th, and these are the top stories making headlines halfway through the week:

  • Frontier Airlines recently announced it’s adding “first class-style” seats. Saying “first class-style” seats is the airline equivalent of “we have food at home.” 

  • KFC has introduced chicken flavored wrapping paper — Which sounds like a roundabout way of saying skin.

  • Fossilized dinosaur droppings suggest the animals' flexible diet amid changing climates helped them become Earth's dominant species in the late Triassic period. The research team’s full findings will appear in this month’s issue of No One Cares

  • According to a joint study from the University of Michigan and Texas State University, fewer college-age Americans drink alcohol, compared to 20 years ago. Economists worry the decline in college-age alcohol consumption may have a devastating impact on the market for Fake IDs.

  • Thrillist ranks Breckenridge, Colorado, as this year’s most beautiful small town in the U.S. for a winter getaway. While the least beautiful winter town remains Seasonal Depression, Montana. 

  • Scientists at Stanford University have found that aging is much more haphazard than we once thought. Starting in different parts of our bodies at different times, a person’s organs may be “older” or “younger” than their actual age. You can read more in the research team’s paper — “I’m 30, am I dying?”
