12/14

1. A new study says baby-faced people live longer. That is, if they survive the beatings in high school. However, scientists also emphasized that Botox doesn’t count.

2. Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi got a bloody nose from a man throwing a model of a cathedral. Good thing he didn’t also throw holy water, or Berlusconi would have gotten burns too.

3. Nike has decided to stand by Tiger Woods. Especially since Woods has been so loyal to Nike’s slogan. This is probably actually going to increase Nike sales, since Woods is finally doing something that urban teenage boys want to do too. "Golf? No thanks. Tons of hot mistresses? Get me some of those sneakers."

4. Senator Joe Lieberman opposed lowering the minimum age for Medicare to 55. He doesn’t want anything to interfere with his own insurance plan, which is to serve on the board of Hartford insurance companies when he retires.

5. Developing countries are threatening to walk out of the Copenhagen climate talks, saying that richer countries aren’t doing enough. To which Denmark’s representative said: “Go ahead and walk out. It’s December. You’ll see we Danish wouldn’t actually mind a little global warming.”
