This story kind of makes me wonder if James Cameron had his press conference today just so he could upstage Martin Scorcese. Like he was thinking, "So what if the most acclaimed director of our time finally got an Oscar, I've got a box of Jesus!"

I also like the quotes on this BBC article especially the part at the bottom about how Jesus' tomb will be great for local real estate.

I've been reading that as Jesus' thumb, which really changes the whole meaning of the story.

I'm sure you've all been reading about the Clay Moore kidnapping, but this article is neat because it describes how he got free.

Kidnapped boy frees himself with safety pin and a stick

I love real-life McGyver-type stuff.

Wow. I never want to be in that situation but I hope I could be that resourceful

Diplomat who died in 1919 may provide cure for bird flu

He sounds quite an interesting guy as does his father

Autumn and the Plot Against Me

One man's search for the origin of the Windows wallpaper called "Autumn."

Best part: at the end of the article, the same photographer who took "Autumn" went back to the same road and snapped a picture of it in winter.

Ok, not the most exciting story, but it does contain the best pet store name ever.

Ok, this is so adorable.

I'll see your pet store and raise you a Mexican restaurant.

Indian restaurant trumps all! (except, of course, it's a really terrible name)

Lecturer throws out 700 exam papers with the rubbish

I guess I've been misinformed by how grenades work. I thought once the pin was pulled, there was only a certain amount of time before the grenade exploded. (Damn movies and television always lying to me!)

Well, clearly the right thing to do is to give them all A's. Yeah, that's totally fair. *eyeroll*

ETA:

Girl's five weeks of hiccups finally end

Way to be neutral, guys. I love how Lichtenstein's response was all "whatever..."

Deviant baggage handler jailed. I have to say, I find the sentence rather harsh - there's a lot more threatening sexual kinks out there.

But he actually opened luggage to find pubic or head hair and he had a book with the contact info of all of the women whose hair he collected. I'm thinking two years is about right.

Us women too tired for friends, sex. The title is more interesting than the article, but whatever.

Parents beat up principal over grades.

Whenever I worry that maybe I'm too hard on them, Kaiser will do something to prove my cynicism right.

Never, ever take candy from a transplant surgeon.
