- Awesome: Our soldiers in Afghanistan and the Taliban spend most of their day trash-talking over their radios, sometimes while shooting at each other. I can only hope that the phrase “Son of a motherless goat” has been used by our soldiers at least once.
- Holy schnikes! 60 Minutes has video of a Pentagon official selling military secrets to a Chinese spy.
- Even more awesome: Martin Aircraft says it will offer personal jet packs. If you could actually afford it, would you want one?
- Sea World apparently knew that the Orca that killed its trainer was dangerous. That seems a little like UAH deciding to bring back Amy Bishop for a series of guest lectures.
- Parent of the Year nominee: A mom was upset because her 7 year old child was spit on in school. She decided that the solution was storming into the school brandishing a sword and looking for the other child’s parents.
- The California legislature is moving to create a no cussing day to get people to stop swearing. Ever heard of freedom of f—ing speech? It’s good to know they’ve solved all of their other problems there in California.
- World’s Oldest Criminal: 80 year old woman just got three years in prison for burglarizing a medical office. Bonus: She looks just like Ronnie “Woo Woo” Wickers.
- It turns out that both fat people and Pamela Anderson are bullet-resistant. Yesterday a woman was saved from certain death by her love handles, today a woman’s breast implants stopped a bullet.
- Shock health study of the day: Losing a job can lead to a heart attack.
