9/29

1. Director Francis Ford Coppola’s new movie script was recently stolen. However, it could have been a far greater tragedy for cinema -- it could have been stolen 30 years ago, when he was still making good movies.

2. China is being asked to talk to Burma about treating protesters better. That’s like having your local convenience store raise the price of its coffee and asking Starbucks to talk to them.

3. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are helping the Clinton Global Initiative, or CGI, to rebuild New Orleans. That’s because the movie stars already have a ton of experience with CGI. They want to help build an enormous blue screen behind the city, maybe throw in some dinosaurs.

4. Scientists have acquired an almost perfect piece of DNA from the extinct Woolly Mammoth, though they later apologized to relatives for digging up the grave of Andre the Giant.

5. Testicular and cervical cancer increase the chance of divorce. Yes, and I hear breast cancer lowers the chance that you can breast-feed your kids.
