1. In Saudi Arabia, a man is facing arrest after admitting on TV that he used his Bluetooth to meet women for sex. Millions are clamoring for his punishment -- not for the sex, but for using Bluetooth. You might ask how he could be so stupid to admit this on TV. But you have to remember that as a Bluetooth user, he doesn’t understand that his words and actions can be noticed by other people.
2. While jogging yesterday, French president Nicolas Sarkozy had what is called a vasovagal collapse. This is different from a vaso-vaginal collapse, which would mean Sarkozy had reverted back to his original gender.
3. In New Zealand, a swimmer almost drowned when a dolphin wanted to keep playing and prevented her from returning to shore. Parents with young children could easily relate. “No, mommy just wants to return to the couch.”
4. The Princeton Review says that Penn State University has the “widest use of beer”. My old college had a pretty wide range of uses for beer too -- furniture, weaponry, and (if you strapped enough cans to your body) transportation.
5. Scientists have developed a replacement for barcodes that can store enormous amounts of information. For example, grocery shoppers could get detailed nutritional info on their cell phones, giving Americans yet another high-tech way to ignore their health.
