8/16

1. You know the super-powerful satellites that the government made to spy on other countries? Now they’re going to use them to spy in the United States. A government official said, though, that “this is not a system for tracking Americans”. Is he aware that the United States has a lot of these so-called “Americans”? He then clarified that instead of tracking people, the satellites would be used for things like finding a nice parking space. Or seeing what the special is at the diner across the street.

2. Supercomputers have now determined that a Rubik’s Cube can be solved in as few as 26 moves, which sadly beats my record of 5,349,000.

3. First of all, I’d like to apologize to America for continually altering Wikipedia to say that I am the sexiest man alive.

4. Staff from the CIA apparently made changes to entries on the Wikipedia. Specifically, the ones about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

5. Author Stephen King was almost arrested as a vandal when bookstore staff in Australia saw him autographing his books. Apparently, after his last few movies, an autograph by him would cut the books’ value in half.
