10/13

1. Scientists have discovered a microscopic species that has survived for 80 million years without sexual reproduction. Which means that my old record has been completely shattered.

2. Scientists say that doing housework can raise the risk of asthma. This has been the biggest news for teenagers since the discovery that homework causes cancer.

3. The body of football player George Gipp, who inspired “Win one for the Gipper!”, has been taken out of his grave for DNA testing. They’re not saying why, but I think maybe the cheerleaders were winning one for the Gipper too.

4. A Hindu festival in India is being sued by JK Rowling for building a Harry Potter display. Hindu? Isn’t that like a Catholic church bake sale having a big display from “1,001 Arabian Nights”?

5. Scientists believe that tiger stripes on one of Saturn’s moons might indicate a liquid ocean beneath the icy exterior. They’ve also conjectured the same from some tiger-stripe pants seen on Hillary Clinton.
