News tidbits and websites that have intrigued me as of late…

• Flash Mob Phenomenon Ranges from Harmless Pranks to Public Mess – This was quite amusing.  The YouTube videos at the end of the article were even better.  I was laughing so hard my sides were hurting. 
• I have a few stupid criminal stories for you – these always make me laugh.  The first one is a local story - Inmate on Cigarette Run, Caught Sneaking Back Into Jail.  Yes, you read that right.  
• This one is even better.  Given my background in martial arts, I was struck silly reading this article and picturing the events in my head.  Man Unwisely Tries to Rob Wisconsin Tae Kwon Do Studio.  Unwise…yup, that is a word for it.
• In Case of Death, Please Send Email.  It seems all this online social networking has spawned a new business.  Interesting, indeed.  Chris says, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
• Octopus Sets Off Flood at Aquarium – I had no idea these sea creatures had such personality.  I’ll never look at them the same.  Nor eat them.  Wait, I don’t like eating them in the first place.  
• Senators Slam Plan for Wounded Vets to Use Private Insurance – I usually keep my political thoughts to myself on my blog, but this story made me livid.  LIVID.  The government can bail out businesses, then wants to propose to abandon the soldiers who served their country?  I have several ideas for the person who thought of this plan…
• From John Piper’s blog, A Love Poem of Hope in Seven Languages.  Wow.  I think I want to hear someone recite this.  HeatherT?
