Today’s news and commentary:

• “Faster Than a Speeding Carrot: A Racing Car Made Entirely from Recyclables and Vegetable By-Products”
  
• “Difficult languages: Tongue twisters”:  Just when you thought Greek, Latin, and English were horrible.  Things can be much, much worse…
  
• Homeopathy: There's nothing in it | The 10:23 Campaign | #ten23:  This site has some good information on what homeopathy is and why it does not and cannot possibly work.
  
• “The anti-vaccine movement strikes back against Dr. Paul Offit”:  This article deals with the immoral practice of abusing the law to silence critics of quackery.
  
• “Mac security reality-check: scams”:  Every computer user should know about this.
• “In Lockdown at Newark Airport”

Today’s weird thing is “Ninja turtle in real life”, which unlike some turtles previously reported, has certainly progressed in his/her training.  Enjoy and share the weirdness.

PS:  Hebrew is 1,000 times better than any of those other languages discussed in that article.

PPS:  Ethnic pride may be responsible for the previous statement.  Your mileage may vary.
