12/17

1. Japan’s central bank said it won’t tolerate lower prices for consumers. Now there’s a government working for the people. And with that, Subway Japan was banned from selling 500-yen footlongs.

2. Beijing now has 4 million vehicles and 6 million drivers. So what are the extra 2 million drivers doing? Probably looking for parking.

3. Iraqi insurgents have hacked into unmanned American drones, because the military didn’t encrypt their signals! So basically, it would have been harder to hack Starbucks wifi. Although I think unmanned drones are the next step in Starbucks cost-cutting.

4. Cabin crews from British Airways have planned a strike during Christmas. Well, if they need anyone to take over for a couple flights

5. An undersea formation shaped like a fried egg might be the crater of a meteor. Scientists say a volcanic origin is unlikely, since the egg would have then been boiled.
