Odd News Roundup: Chips Thrown at Cyclist, DJ Priest Spreads Hope, and Robots With Living Skin

This odd news roundup covers an association's legal action against a fan who threw chips at cyclists, a Portuguese priest turned DJ spreading hope through music, and Japanese scientists creating a robot face with living skin that can smile. The events span from a cycling race to nightclub parties and breakthrough technological research.

The Professional Cyclists' Association (CPA) announced plans to pursue legal action against a spectator who disrupted the Tour de France by throwing potato chips at UAE Team Emirates' Tadej Pogacar and Visma-Lease A Bike's Jonas Vingegaard during stage 14. Pogacar had to dodge the spectator while ascending the final stretch of Pla d'Adet.

In a tiny Portuguese village, priest Guilherme Peixoto, known as the 'DJ priest,' garnered international fame for his electronic dance music performances. On Friday, hundreds gathered in Laundos to dance as Peixoto, dressed in a clerical collar, mixed tracks to spread a message of hope through music.

Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have made a breakthrough by attaching living skin tissue to robotic faces, enabling them to 'smile.' The innovative research, which involved growing human skin cells in the shape of a face, holds potential applications in both cosmetics and medicine.
