1. A resort hotel in England was banned from using a logo showing a topless nun. It wasn’t so much that the logo was religiously offensive, but that the nun was 87 years old.
2. Rwanda has earned a prize for “most-improved nation” in Africa and Mauritius has earned the prize for “best governed”. However, it’s not so surprising considering the first is recovering from genocide and the second isn’t even in Africa.
3. A former missile base in Washington state is for sale. The owner says that it would make an ideal summer camp. Yes, if you have any discipline problems, just remind the kids that Russian missiles are still aimed at their beds.
4. A copy of the Magna Carta, which most historians see as the first time that a ruler was forced to recognize individual liberty and the rule of law, is going on sale. Democratic Congressmen are thinking of buying it, then tracking down President Bush to get him to sign it too.
5. Apple says it wants to “continuously delight” users with new iPhone features, such as a virtual reality feature that allows users to virtually kiss Steve Jobs’ ass.
