Missing American Found
Only the Air Force. Not to be mean, but it serves her right. Sounds fishy, maybe we're just not getting all the details.
Someone slipped something into her back pocket and the writing ON IT said it was a bomb. WHAT? Look, I have pants and I have a hard time believing that anything anyone can slip into my back pocket could be a bomb. "This is not a piece of cardboard, it is a bomb." And then it says that she was found with her hair dyed. Who is doing the abducting over there? The guys from Queer Eye??? Look, I know your show was cancelled but don't go abducting people in foreign countries OK?

Star Trek Turns 40
A milestone for geeks everywhere. Sulu is gay, William Shatner gets roasted on Comedy Central, Kirk and Spock are reunited on Priceline.com. What more could we ask for? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the production of another Star Trek film. I guess that about covers it.

Thin Models Banned From Madrid show
Good job Spain! Fat is the new skinny. Eat food, that's natural. Not eating food, unnatural.

Greenpeace All Up In the Sex Business
Isn't it enough for Greenpeace to stop whale hunting, baby seal clubbing, and off-shore oil drilling, but the sex toys? Some sex toys contain something called phthalates. Phthalates are banned in the EU in children's toys and now they want to extent the ban to vibrators , dildos, and PVC outfits. I don't know, it's like smoking. OK for adults, not good for kids. "Greenpeace research has shown that phthalates can disrupt the human hormonal system, diminishes fertility and adversely affects the kidneys and liver."

McDonald's vs. McCurry; David vs. Golaith
OK, I understand the need to keep intellectual property and trademarks and such, but to take five years to win a suit against a small Malay restuarant named McCurry's is just ridiculous! Wow, it only took you five years to kick over an anthill? That's impressive! Apparently 'Mc' is trademarked by McDonald's, WATCH OUT GREY'S ANATOMY!

And that's the news. Stuff happens around the world and I read it. I laugh at it and then laugh some more.
