GWB in a comedy skit -
Here's an 11-minute
excerpt from the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner. Bush’s presentation included an impersonator, Steve Bridges, who 'interpreted' the president's remarks for laymen. Very well done.

One lab is working on an
edible food wrap that kills deadly E. coli bacteria... pretty clever.

Flight Patterns -
This video showing US flight patterns by plotting data from the FAA is surprisingly mesmerizing. Or, it could just be that I'm overly sleepy today from excessive weekend activities -- attending the NJ Devils hockey game, raking the rest of the leaves up at the lake, attending Frank & Marge's daughter's wedding (they even had fireworks!). I also managed to crawl around in the attic to hook up a big FM antenna so I can pull in all the NY HD radio stations on my HD receiver -- works great!) Need to sleeeeep...

Not a better mousetrap -
This year, it's a better rake. At least that's what the makers of the
Slapshot Rake are claiming -- that you can cover 300% more ground with each more-natural stroke, kind of like a slapshot in hockey. Check out the video -- it looks kind of kooky, but who knows? They may be on to something. (After raking up a monstrous 6-foot pile of leaves after arriving home from a one-week vacation yesterday, I'll try anything!)

Never mix alcohol with radiation -
The combination seems to make people stupid.
Here's a story of an Illinois man who mistook the local nuclear power plant for a gas station, just a couple of weeks after someone else pulled up to it thinking it was an interstate toll plaza!
