You, too, can eat a ghost (sort of)

Greetings.

Jewish date:  19 Siwan 5770 (Parashath Shelaḥ).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  National Go Barefoot Day, International Children’s Day, Doughnut Day.

Worthy causes of the day:  “Too extreme even for FOX.”, “Take Action: Take action for human rights!”, “Demand transparency in Wall Street reform negotiations.”, “Working Families » Take Action!”, “PETITION TO CONGRESS: Save Net Neutrality! | Progressive Change Campaign Committee”, “Repower America | Tell BP: Spill the Truth!”, and “Tell EPA: Take away BP's billions in federal contracts”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “The hidden health power of spices and herbs is revealed in recent studies”
• “Herbal Supplement Sellers Dispense Dangerous Advice, False Claims”
• “Archaeo-alcohology”
• “Toyota’s Robot Violinist Wows Crowd At Shanghai Expo 2010 (Video)”
• “Red Meat: Is It Hazardous to Health?”
• “Sacking Plastic: Are Restrictions on Plastic Bags an Effective Way to Slow Landfill Growth and Save Petroleum?”
• “Nearby planetary system is seriously screwed up”

Today’s weird thing, still on the Pac-Man theme, is “Pac-Man Candy”, which makes some sense since one of the goals of the game is to eat stuff.  Enjoy and share the weirdness.
