The alarm clock must DIE!!!

Greetings.

Jewish date:  27 Ṭeveth 5770 (Parashath Wa’era’).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  Bad Back Day, International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction.

Worthy causes of the day:  “Sign the Petition | UANI:  Support Human Rights in Iran”, “Portect Children From Toxic Pesticide Clouds - The Petition Site”, “Take Action: Don't let polluters strip the Clean Air Act”, and “Repower America | Save our clean air”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Santa Fe Wi-Fi Fears Keep Getting Weirder - Man sues neighbor for refusing to turn off wireless”:  Correctly noted is that sensitivity to electromagnetic fields has not been shown to occur and those who claim it are experiencing a psychosomatic disorder.
  
• “Kitteh Called to Jury Duty”
  
  
• “Quanta of Cage: Standard Deviation of Nicolas Cage Movies’ IMDB Ratings”:  Somebody applied basic statistics to the quality of Nicolas Cage’s movies.  He also did the same to the movies of Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks for comparison.
• “The War on Salt”
• “GRRRRR”
• “Focus on Divorce, Not Gays, to Fix the Family”

Today’s weird thing is Clocky, an alarm clock that wheels around your room beeping if you fail to get up on time and shut it off.  In the evening, this sounds like a great idea to make sure one gets up in the morning.  I doubt this would seem like a good idea at 5:45 AM.  Enjoy (or loathe) and share the weirdness.
