4/3

1. The star of the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” is going to join the cast of “24”. In this year’s big plot twist, Jack Bauer’s terrorism unit has been hit by budget problems, so they have to move the command center to India.

2. In England, some people blocked a car from Google that was taking pictures of their houses. But it’s very easy to make sure no one can access internet photos. Just make sure they use Time Warner Cable.

3. A court in Malawi has decided that Madonna will not be allowed to adopt a child. The court decided that it would be better for the child to grow up in Malawi, where he will probably die before he’s 50. What do you think the kid is going to say about this when he grows up? “You mean I could I have grown up with Madonna? With one of the wealthiest women on the face of the planet? And you said NO?!?”

4. Researchers have now created the first robot scientist, which can create hypotheses and test them out. That is, besides Stephen Hawking.

5. Recently, people who can’t keep up the cost of their boats are just letting them drift ashore, and it’s starting to clutter up beaches. Don’t they call those 'shipwrecks'?
