1. In France, a team of prisoners will be allowed to compete in the huge Tour de France bicycle race. Prison officials say they hope the project will teach the inmates how to use teamwork. Um, isn’t teamwork the way that prisoners escape?
2. Scientists have been spending years analyzing Neil Armstrong’s speech patterns when he said his first words on the moon, and they have finally determined for certain that he did not say the letter “a”.

3. You know Casual Friday? The L.A. City Council is apparently going to start Really Casual Friday (i.e. city services will be closed every other Friday).
4. Some people in the media are talking about how Sonia Sotomayor’s controversial speech in 2001 didn’t make a lot of news back then. Um, maybe that's because she wasn’t a Supreme Court nominee yet.
5. A new study says that eating curry once a week might keep people from developing Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, some people only keep eating the curry if they forget how much it burns.
