10/7

1. The Nobel Prize in chemistry has gone to a scientist whose work has been vital in the war against germs. Analysts said it had really only been a matter of time until the Swedes recognized Dr. Scholl.

2. A Saudi man convicted for bragging about sex on TV says that the video crew tricked him. Yes, how could he have possibly known that talking in front of TV cameras and showing off his collection of sex toys (true) might show up on TV? Over 200 lawsuits were filed against him by viewers who felt morally wronged by the broadcast – and funnily, most of the lawsuits particularly mentioned what he said at the very end.

3. A banker in Michigan has been convicted of embezzlement after stealing $340,000 from her bank and giving it to the poor. The good news, however, is that she was quickly hired by the Obama administration.

4. Burger King announced that it is making its restaurants more “upscale and edgy”. Now, instead of having it your way, you’ll have it Burger King’s way -- and you’ll like it.

5. A new study says that women on the Pill always choose nicer, more feminine men instead of masculine men. How ironic that women on the Pill choose guys who wouldn’t mind having a kid. Next we’re going to find out that women are more likely to get drunk if they want to have sex anyway.
