8/21

1. In the African nation of Swaziland, there have been street protests after nine of the king’s 13 wives chartered a jet to take them on a shopping trip to Europe and the Middle East. The protest wasn’t about the money, though. It was because the wives all bought Crocs. The anger those shoes inspire is insane.

2. John McCain has admitted that he doesn’t know how many houses he and his wife own. And the most disturbing thing is they only own one. No, apparently they own at least four, but he wasn’t sure if places with less than 20 rooms counted. That would be more like a ‘cottage’, wouldn’t it?

3. Scientists say that the world cooled down a little in 2008, mostly because Emeril’s show got cancelled.

4. Scientists have discovered that medium-sized black holes are very rare. They’re almost all extremely small or extremely large. That’s how it is with drug addicts too. You’re either a celebrity or a total zero. It’s never, “Hey, did you hear about Bob in accounting? Crackhead.”

5. Usain Bolt continued his string of Olympic medals yesterday, giving news editors with a taste for easy puns another mini-vacation.
