8/20













1. A new insect species has been discovered on eBay. Here's a picture of some of them swarming. Is eBay considered a habitat now? I always thought it was just populated by grilled-cheese Jesuses.

2. The U.S. and Poland signed a deal to allow missile defense systems to be built on Polish land. Later this year, construction will start in Chicago/England.

3. Scientists now say, get ready, that back pain can be helped by… good posture. Really? I never would have guessed that. No back pain and a chance at modeling school? Good posture has so many pluses.

4. Wild birds are moving north to cope with global warming, but not fast enough to really keep pace. This is similar to poor people in Williamsburg.

5. How many medals your country wins at the Olympics depends mostly on the size of your economy, but also on factors such as whether you’re an ex-Communist country, will be the next or current host, and how many medals you won at previous Games. And oh yes, whether you come from a nation of mutant freaks.
