8/27

1. A new study says colleges and prisons have been hit hardest by state budget cuts. Some states are thinking long-term by cutting MBA programs, which will lower the number of prison inmates down the road.

2. Engineers are building 100,000 artificial trees to cope with global warming, because the previous contractor, known as ‘Mother Nature’, was taking decades for each tree. Plus, trees by Mother Nature are widely banned for being dangerously flammable.

3. New laws require cigarette packs to have graphic images showing the risks of tobacco. For example, photos of cancerous mouths. Or of President Obama desperately hiding from photographers while smoking.

4. Time Warner Cable is going to test internet TV. However, it will have to expand prime time from three hours to six, since one-hour shows will take about two hours to fully play.

5. A Hindu man in India was arrested for having six wives, and is complaining that the government is only treating him badly because he‘s not Muslim. Yeah, because the Indian government has always been known for its huge favoritism towards Muslims.
