6/10

1. Several American internet firms have now agreed to block websites with child porn. There was an immediate outcry, though, when no one could get to the website for “Vanity Fair”.

2. Scientists now say that bright lights can help slow the progress of dementia. Is that why McCain says he’ll put more skylights in the White House?

3. In the Vietnam, there is a huge Boeing 727 jet sitting in an airport and no one knows who the owner is. The airline is supposedly called Air Dream. Appropriate, huh? Air Dream - that sounds like it might be the name of some airlines here in the U.S. soon. And this is true - airport officials think the owners just don’t want to pay the plane parking fees. Wow, people who own planes do that too? I thought it was just my Cousin Jimmy and his Chevy. That thing’s been at the impound yard for years.

4. The science station in Antarctica just received a shipment of 16,500 condoms. And man, are the penguins there relieved! They used to be the only way to have safe sex. Those little tuxedos were just too cute to resist.

5. Smoking has now been linked to loss of hearing, and another study says that smoking in middle age leads to worse memory. Or maybe they’re just not hearing what people are saying.
