• Bangladeshi newspapers get punked, bigtime (and for once, it wasn't even deliberate). •Worst excuse ever for underage sex? Or best? • Do science raps ever get old? The answer: no. Maybe this one about the swine flu will, er, go viral. • Sure, some people are more vertically challenged than others, but height actually varies very little among humans, compared to other species... and scientists still aren't sure why. • Is global warming forestalling an ice age? • A hair-brained idea?

This woman tried to but was unsuccessful; she didn't like the links that a search of her own name brought up. • Bottoms up! An unsuspecting man found a decaying frog inside his can of soda.
