SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A San Antonio aquatics center said it has replaced its U.S. flag after someone pointed out it had only 43 stars.  The Northside Independent School District Aquatics Center said the 43-star flag, which would have been correct during the Benjamin Harrison administration in 1890, was a mistake by San Antonio manufacturer, Allied Advertising, KSAT-TV, San Antonio, reported Monday.

The quality-control inspector is defending his work, claiming the flag represents an "alternative narrative."

(UPI) -- Massachusetts residents say they are under siege from this year's large crop of acorns as the hard nuts have been falling from trees like rain.  Greg Roberson and Neil McIsaac of Brookline, Mass., said they routinely encounter the nuts as they fall from area oak trees, creating safety hazards while in the air and once on the ground, The Boston Globe reported Saturday.

Someone tell Massachusetts that the whole country is under siege from the ACORNS, and, yes, they are nuts.
