1. A drug that failed as an anti-depressant was found to boost women’s sex drive. So they’re still miserable – but they want to have sex. That sounds like fun. And actually, it was originally developed as a heart medicine. “Well, this drug was supposed to cure liver cancer, then we tried to make it an anti-fungal cream, and now we think it might go great with spareribs.” Some doctors are skeptical about the need for pills to boost female sex drive. These doctors all have something in common – they’re all women. Other experts say a pill could stop couples from talking through underlying issues. Millions of men are thinking: “And the downside is…?”
2. Somali pirates have taken hostage the crew of a North Korean ship. They're expecting Kim Jong Il to put value on other people's lives? That's like stealing a shipment of salad from Arby’s.
3. A new study says that even infrequent users of the street drug ketamine, also known as Special K, are more paranoid than non-users. The cereal Special K does the same thing – you lose weight because you’re afraid of being poisoned.
4. Tokyo now has more Michelin three-star restaurants than any other city in the world, including Paris. However, only the three-star restaurants in Paris give you the delicious feeling of contempt for those who aren’t eating there.
5. President Obama is under fire for bowing almost 90 degrees to the emperor of Japan. This comes after bowing deeply to the king of Saudi Arabia earlier this year. Now if he’d bowed to the president of China, maybe I could understand. I think Obama should just not bow to anyone. Ever. The only time the president should bow that low is if he’s trying to duck some shoes.
