10/3

1. Rio de Janeiro was chosen to be the site of the 2016 Olympics instead of Chicago. Analysts say the deciding factors were videos from local residents of Chicago and Rio.

2. Google CEO Eric Schmidt said he starts every day “assuming that people don’t appreciate how fundamental the internet is.” Then, over breakfast, he lets at least a thousand strangers know that, thanks to the internet, he has their social security numbers.

3. The 2009 Ig Nobel award for ridiculous research went to a bra that can double as a gas mask. Police think it might be the reason behind this year’s roughly 5000% increase in guys calling in false alarms about gas leaks.

4. Reports say Iran has the data to build a nuclear bomb. Really? Sixteen-year-olds in Topeka, Kansas have the data to build a nuclear bomb. It’s called the internet. The issue is having the ingredients. I have the data to make a 20-foot-high Smurf statue out of Megan Fox’s liver -- the problem is getting the liver.

5. Lady Gaga says she will now be going on a concert tour without Kanye West. Mainly because the strip clubs wouldn’t let him on stage. However, Kanye has announced that he's going on her tour anyway.
