2/9

1. In Switzerland, it’s now illegal to go hiking naked. Yeah, I know, cancel your reservations. But apparently if people get caught, they have to pay the fine on the spot. But how can they pay… if they’re naked? And if they do have the money on them, do you really want to take it?

2. The mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, gave the key to the city to the captain of that plane that landed in the Hudson. Now that he has the key, Bloomberg‘s hoping the guy can land the city, after it got hit by that flock of Wall Street bankers on a wild goose chase.

3. Meg Whitman, the former head of eBay, is going to run for governor of California. She’s already raising money by selling cabinet positions on eBay.

4. Marijuana has now been linked to aggressive testicular cancer. That’s surprising. I would have thought it would be linked to very mellow testicular cancer. And great, Michael Phelps’s testicles are already shriveled from being in the water all day - now he’s going to lose them altogether.

5. Airports in Paris have closed, because of fears about strong fast winds throwing off the planes. But then President Sarkozy agreed to give his speech somewhere else. Without his mouth being open, the danger was over.
