Greetings.

Weird news:

• Another Wikipedia article being maliciously edited (Sorry. Couldn’t resist. Blame Barry.)
  
• “Cleric: $1 Million to Kill Cartoonist” (Submitted by Barry.)
  
• “"Holy Terror, Batman!" Superhero takes on Al-Qaeda” (Submitted by Barry.)
  
• “TA artist takes on Iranian cartoons” (I cannot make something like this up.)
  
• “PA officials to lose VIP status” (Finally! Sensible behavior from the Israeli government!)

Today’s weird thing is “The Dead Grandmother/Exam Syndrome and the Potential Downfall Of American Society”, a statistical article which Barry sent me. The author should have used Poisson regression, of course. Enjoy, and Shabbath shalom.
