Leftovers: Swede To Cheat In Quest For Pointless Record

• Did you know the individual Frisbee time-aloft record is held by a Philadelphia-area resident? 16.72 seconds, set in Chester County in 1984. However, he may lose his record as a Swedish astronaut is going to attempt a new record while in space. Frankly, this seems like cheating to me. Can we get some dude on ‘roids — Justin Gatlin, maybe? — to return this record to its rightful country? [Inquirer]

• In Wednesday’s coverage of Vince Vaughn fingerbangee Mallory Lane (right), I mentioned she also had a piece in the San Antonio Express-Times. Well, they also did an interview and Lane had some different things to say. And her parents defended her! Aww, how cute. [San Antonio Express-Times via Gawker]

• After being rejected when he wanted to hang his ceremonial ex-governor’s portrait in the statehouse as part of his book promotion, it seems Jim McGreevey will finally get his wish. Richard Codey sulks, as he can’t go until McGreevey does. Hrumph. [AP/Camden Courier-Post]

• Apparently, women’s shoes found in a hotel are the break police need to catch the killer of four women found dead just outside Atlantic City last month. [Inquirer]

• The Phillies’ trade earlier this week for Bobby Livingston was nullified by MLB because, uh, you’re not allowed to pick someone up off waivers and immediately trade him for cash to another team. And the Devil Rays picked Livingston up off waivers and immediately traded him to the Phillies. (Uh, maybe.) Whoops. [Beerleaguer]
