3. In India, Maoists have bombed one of the state capitals. Maoists? What century is this again? And in Athens, there was reportedly an attack by Spartans.

5. Athletes at the Beijing Olympics will be allowed to blog. They will not be allowed to post any video of the games themselves, though. Orgies are optional.
