Sometimes The Onion is not so funny ...
Today's Episode of "The Onion Radio News"
(well, except that bit about squozing the plastic bears -- that was pretty funny)
From today's real news:
Taiwan stung by millions of missing bees
"... A beekeeper on Taiwan's north-east coast reported
six million insects missing "for no reason", and one in the
south said 80 of his 200 bee boxes had been emptied ..."

The Spy Act (H.R. 964)
An Excellent summary of the situation:
"Let's sum up. If the Spy Act become law, hardware, software, and network vendors will be granted carte blanche to use spyware themselves to police their customers' use of their products and services. Incredibly broad exceptions will probably allow even the worst of the adware outfits to operate with legal cover. State attempts to deal with the spyware problem will be pre-empted and enforcement left up almost entirely to the FTC. Gee, what's not to like in that deal?"

Wha?!
OK ... Now this is peculiar! Apparently, this hexagonal swirling cloud was discovered by Voyager over 20 years ago covering the entire north pole of Saturn. Well, Cassini just flew by and it's still there (and now we've got a great animated shot of it!)
I luv the universe!
