- News today says that a Dutch bishop has called for people of all faiths to refer to God as "Allah" as a way of easing religious tensions. "What does God care what we call him?" says Bishop Tiny Muskens. "It’s our problem." Well, if that’s the case, then how about calling him "Tiny?"
- Tabloids report that Brittany Spears has called both her kids "mistakes." Uh, Brit, last time I checked "Oops I Did it Again" isn’t a parenting strategy.
- Excessive yawning may reveal that you are an empathetic person, says some new research. There’s a new twist for church on Sunday–"No, pastor, I wasn’t bored. I was feeling empathy!"
- New research shows that it will cost you a cool $290,000 to raise a kid born this year up to the age of 17. I have two of them, both born in the late nineties, making them relative a bargain by comparison. I’ll try to keep that in mind when I register them for college in a few years.
- A Sheriff’s deputy in Elko Nevada pulled over his own wife, also a cop, and charged her with a DUI. You gotta give the guy credit for doing his job and protecting the public, but I’m trying to imagine how the conversation at home went afterward. Yikes.
