9/18

1. The Minneapolis airport bathroom where Larry Craig was arrested is now attracting tourists. Officials say people keep blowing through.

2. The Italian city of Venice has been trying to introduce contraceptives to pigeons, but they keep slipping off.

3. An investigation of the sale of helicopters to Saudi Arabia was dropped by a British agency known as the Serious Fraud Office. However, investigations by the Not-So-Serious Fraud Office are still underway, looking into charges that the Saudis didn’t get exact change for some Doritos.

4. Yale University has agreed to give back artifacts one of their researchers took from Peru a century ago. Apparently they heard Peru had hired O.J. to get the artifacts back.

5. The U.S. government has fined the Chiquita banana company $25 million for paying right-wing militias in Colombia. Fortunately, this will balance out, because last year the US government awarded Chiquita $25 million for paying right-wing militias in Colombia. It’s all very confusing down there.
