So, three interesting bits of news gleaned from the internet:
Scientists have declared that Pluto is no longer a planet. It is instead a "Dwarf Planet." Asked why they changed the status, government astronomers explained that well, they had to at least look like they were doing something.
Anyone over the age of 18 (or with a fake ID) can now purchase the Plan B contraceptive, also known as the "Morning-after pill", without a prescription. This is certainly a positive step considering that hundreds of ignorant Americans will probably accidentally kill themselves by not reading the directions. It's natural selection at work. Meanwhile, an anonymous college student states that she is "grateful that the traditional "Walk of Shame" has gotten a little bit shorter."
And finally, shock of the day: France has dedicated 2000 troops to keeping peace in Lebanon. Did anyone else not know that they have a military? (I know, I know--cheap shot. But it really is appalling.)
P.S. Cheer on Lindsay Davenport in the U.S. Open (tennis people, tennis)!
