10/10

1. This week, a couple in Britain paid for honeymoon airline tickets by recycling cans and bottles. My god, how much did people at their wedding drink?

2. Connecticut today overturned the stat ban on gay marriage, which means there will finally be wedding bells for senators Joe Lieberman and John McCain.

3. The release date for the new Guns and Roses album has finally been set! Great! That would have made me really excited about, oh, 13 years ago. And the soda maker Dr. Pepper said in the spring that it would send a free can of soda to every American if the album came out during 2008. Who owns Dr. Pepper -- a Wall Street investment bank?

4. The most isolated living creature ever has been found -- bacterium living 1.74 miles below the Earth’s surface. It breaks the record for most-isolated species previously held by Kim Jong Il.

5. The federal government released new guidelines for how much people should exercise, in order to get people more in shape easier. Yay! New guidelines! Did the human body change? We’ve still got the same bodies. It doesn’t matter how many times you change the guidelines.
