10 Marheshwan 5767 * 1 November 2006: Aaron and Barry's (Jewish) birthday/National Author's Day/All Saint's Day

Greetings.

Yes, today is my birthday on the Jewish calendar. (One can never celebrate too many of one’s birthdays.)

Today’s news and commentary:

• “The Clock is Ticking”
  
• “Actually, Israel IS At War With the Palestinian People” (Sometimes someone just needs to say what ought to be obvious.)
  
• “Committee calls for law to govern sex selection” (The cases mentioned as to when they allowed it are rather interesting.)
  
• “Modern Humans, Neanderthals May Have Interbred”
  
• “Batman helps Ga. town infested by bats” (Yes, Virginia, there is a Batman. Only not the one you may have been thinking of.)
  
• “Seale of Disapproval”

Today’s weird thing is a very-limited time opportunity to send your name to the Asteroid Belt. I do not know the point of it, but, what the gezornenblat, I’m sending my name to the Asteroid Belt anyway. Enjoy and share the weirdness.

Aaron
