8/31

1. A flight from Bangladesh to London was delayed 10 hours because all of the plane’s five toilets were plugged up. According to the airline, the main problem was that too many of the passengers had actually eaten in Bangladesh. Though to be honest, the same problem often occurs when flying out of London.

2. The Today Show is hiring Jenna Bush as a reporter, continuing the Bush tradition of getting jobs without demonstrating any particular competence. Some people are wondering if she’ll be able to wake up that early, but they don’t understand that it will actually be the last thing she does before going to bed.

3. Reports say that more and more Italians are binge drinking. You mean Italians have been sober this whole time? What the hell are they going to be like now?

4. A 71-year-old Olympic swimming champion in Australia stopped a robber by kicking him in the groin. She says she learned how to effectively kick groins from Australian swimming competitions.

5. A 10-year-old boy in Illinois has gotten some fame for his prized collection of vacuum cleaners. It all started because of his second hobby -- scaring dogs.
