10/8

1. [YouTube clip] The maker of the Halo video games is breaking away from Microsoft. This is the first time anyone has tried to break away from Microsoft since the clip above?

2. An 11-year-old boy and his parents in Louisiana have been arrested after he led police on a car chase. The chase briefly paused when the kid stopped at a Burger King to pick up his mom. Shouldn’t the mother have taken over at that point? What was the conversation like? “The cops are after me, mom.” “Drive faster.” The boy was charged with fleeing from an officer, reckless driving, speeding, passing on the shoulder, improper lane usage, and having no driver’s license. Would they really have noticed proper lane usage? “Well, you’re 11 years old, speeding, and recklessly endangering people, but you did use the lanes properly. Good boy.”

3. The first species ever created in a lab has been announced. A previous claim was later discounted when it turned out that despite the botox, Geena Davis is still technically human.

4. Led Zeppelin fans may be refused entry to the reunion concert if they paid for the tickets using someone else’s credit card. This means a lot of grandmas might be there.

5. Many pregnant women are avoiding all seafood to avoid mercury poisoning. But now scientists say they should eat at least some seafood to get Omega-3 fatty acids. And other experts are saying no one should ever have any kids at all, because it’s just too complicated.
