1. The Olympic torch is in Japan today, and for the first time, both the right and left wings in Japan will protest together. The left wing wants China to leave Tibet, while the right wing wants Japan to take over instead.
2. The Senate has decided to award Aung San Suu Kyi, the pro-democracy leader in Burma, with its highest honor. However, the only reason is that her name sounds like the first line of “The Star Spangled Banner”.
3. Cricket teams in India could be fined if their cheerleaders are found to be dressed indecently. However, the cheerleaders themselves will not be arrested, which left police extremely disappointed. Senior officers would decide whether the cheerleaders crossed “lines of decency”. And they would be watching veeeeeery closely.
4. A company is now offering “odor free” pants for men. This way, when you fart, no one can smell it. But I’m wondering, what happens when you take off the pants? After a long day, that could be potentially life-threatening. There might have to be a warning label: “Do not remove near open flames.”
5. The government has now banned discriminating against people based on their genes. Others have protested that the government shouldn’t force people to wear slacks.
