Beware of fancy cubes

Greetings.

Jewish date:  9 Tishri 5769 (‘Erev Yom Kippur).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  World Tourism Day, Ancestor Appreciation Day.

Worthy cause of the day:  Give blood.  I cannot say this enough.  Just do not do on a day when you are fasting or the day before, which is just asking for trouble.  Also:  “Sierra Club:  Help Us Reach Our Goal of 100,000 Champions for National Parks by October 4th!”

Today’s news and commentary:

• “What Happened to Channel 1?”
• “Did Cooking Give Humans An Evolutionary Edge?”
• “Rare Space Object Discovered by High Schooler”

Today’s weird thing is the Rubik's Cube Passion with Plush Pink Case.  This is something bizarre Barry dug found out about, and I am not really clear on what the point of this is, given it is only the same puzzle as Rubik’s Cube, only flashier.  Enjoy (or be puzzled) and share the weirdness.  And may all of you who are fasting have an easy and meaningful fast, and may you all be sealed in the book of life for a good year.
