10/1

1. There is growing anger in Egypt about special devices that let women fake virginity on their wedding night. The devices apparently make women appear to be one of the Jonas Brothers. Islamic scholars are mixed about whether continuing to have sex would make the husband gay.

2. Pre-orders of Sarah Palin’s new memoir have been enormous. Publishers are ecstatic, because it could open a whole new market among people who have never bought a book before. Palin’s book is called “Going Rogue”, which caused confusion for some buyers who thought it was the upcoming memoir of the Lucky Charms leprechaun, “Going Brogue”.

3. A new study says that children who eat candy every day are more likely to become violent adults. However, not letting kids have candy is more likely to make them violent right now.

4. Last night, the Empire State Building was lit red and yellow to celebrate the anniversary of communist rule in China. Very surprisingly, this caused some controversy. But critics forgot that the name of the building is the EMPIRE State Building. It’s like you shouldn’t be surprised if North Korea has a party at Central Park’s Stalinist Dictatorship Skating Rink.

5. Yesterday, Madonna said that she would rather get hit by a train than get married again. Well, why can’t you do both?
