NEWS FLASH:

As you may recall, earlier this year Alberta reported that a severe case of Nippleitis had broken out at all of the Provinces beaches. This strange phenomenon seems to have only affected approximately half the the population while the other half complained of symptoms that ranged from soar necks to dry eyes. Undoubtedly these are side effects from the intent staring and the neck rotation.

One man reported that, "the averting of the eyes seemed to only work for just a short time, and then he was strangely drawn back to the Nippleitis effected areas."

While Google rushes to get its new social network Google+ up and running, Facebook has started to realize that there may be some big competition on the social networking block.

US President Obama and British Petroleum have come up with a novel plan to deal with the oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico. The new plan is to backfill about half of the gulf with dirt and rocks in an effort to cover up and hide the giant mess. The proposed project will be performed by the Army Corps of Engineers, it's one of their biggest projects since the Panama Canal.

The plan to deal with the oil that's rushing into the Gulf of Mexico is unique for more than just its size, the plan will also deal with the hot topic of illegal immigration and create a larger land mass for the USA.

I spent about 2 years living in Indonesia and one of the things I liked most about Indonesia was that just when I thought that I had seen it all - there would always be something new to see that would make me realize that I hadn't. In the west, we'd never even consider transporting the things the way that some Indonesians do - but they make do with what they have and it's probably a lot more efficient than what we would do.
