Amnesiac Florida Man Wakes Up Speaking Only Swedish: A 61-year-old Florida man woke up after being found unconscious in a Motel 6 in Palm Springs, California, with no memory of his past and speaking only Swedish. Kind of reminds me of that time a few years ago when I woke up in that cheap motel with empty wine bottles and Rosetta Stone CD’s scatted all over the floor. Oh, what a night that was!

Americans Getting More News From Mobile Devices than Newspapers: A new study from the Pew Research Center has determined that more Americans are now getting their news from mobile devices as opposed to newspapers.

Dinosaurs Struggled to Survive Long Before Asteroid Hit: New research indicated that the dinosaurs were struggling to survive for tens of millions of years before they finally went extinct, an event widely blamed on an asteroid strike. Now I’m no paleontologist, but if you ask me, what happened was that the dinosaurs simply became too big to fail and the asteroid strike prevented a bailout. That’s what can happen when you fail to adopt free market trade and globalization principles.

Spray-Painting Asteroids May Deflect Rocks From Earth: NASA scientists are proposing covering a potentially threatening asteroid with a thin coat of spray-paint, thereby changing the amount of sunlight reflected and hopefully nudging it away from Earth.
