‪כ׳ סיון תשס״ז * 6 June 2007: Teacher’s Day/National Applesauce Cake Day

Greetings.

Worthy cause of the day: “Stop Liquid Coal”.

Today’s news and commentary:
  • “Cold War Revival”
  • “Officials order expo crowd to clap, have fun” (Pathetic.)
  • “1,683 guitarists play 'Smoke on Water'”
  • “'Terminator' seed sowing discord” (Major rule: copy protection does not work.)
  • “Million pound reward in hunt for Loch Ness monster”
  • “If Cutting Carbon Isn't Enough, Can Climate Intervention Turn Down the Heat?”
  • “Endangered ibises lose taste for wild life”
  • “"Mooing" ringtones used to catch leopards”
  • “Man makes woman fill his SUV with gas” (Yes, gasoline prices are way too high.)
  • “Bowen On the Six Day Warpath”
  • “Surfing the Web with nothing but brainwaves”
Today’s weird thing is “Apple iPod hacked into iTop handheld”. I have no clue why this was done. Enjoy and share the weirdness.
