1. Scientists now say that people with attention deficit disorder do 22 fewer days of work each year than people who don’t have it. Or maybe it was 23 days. I wasn’t really concentrating.
2. A new study says that combat-related stress is on the rise in American soldiers. Yeah, I wonder if that has anything to do with us being at war.
3. A stray cat has been officially made the head of a train station in Japan. Can you imagine what the former station master must feel like? “Yeah, I got fired for a cat.” “You think that’s bad? I just got traded for 10 bats.”
4. The leaders of Burma have extended the house arrest of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, giving parents an even better argument when kids complain about how long they’re grounded. “Just be glad you’re not the opposition leader in Burma, young man!”
5. The obesity epidemic among American kids might have peaked. Which is great news for people starving around the world. Maybe there’ll be more food for them now.
