1. A little sad news -- the recession has taken 332 people off the list of the world’s billionaires. I know, I know, it’s hard all around. Warren Buffet has lost his place as the world’s richest person. The new number one is the guy who owns Cash for Gold.
2. A new study shows that monkey mothers are more likely to deal with their children’s tantrums if there are monkeys nearby who may be irritated. These monkeys are obviously not living in the United States. However, researchers also discovered that the monkey mothers don’t do anything if they’re put inside a restaurant. So that explains it! There’s something in restaurants that changes parents!
3. The international space station is being renovated so that the crew can be expanded to six people, which means that Obama will then only have to provide jobs for another 3,399,997 people. That’s about $50 million to create three new jobs. At this rate, the stimulus will create about 15,000 jobs. All of them in space.
4. A new poll shows that mental stress among Americans is going up with the recession. Well, that’s a surprise. I would have thought people would be a lot more relaxed hanging out at home.
5. In Nigeria, there is a new ban on gay marriage that defines marriage as just living together. I guess that’s the end of Survivor going there.
