Headlines of the day

The Good news:
U.N.: Number of Refugees at 25-Year Low
It's Bush's fault (also Clinton's fault)...
The agency report said the resolution of conflicts in Bosnia, Kosovo, Liberia and Afghanistan contributed to the drop in the number of refugees.
The Bad News:
Last year, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo accounted for about 7.5 million of the world's internally displaced people.

The Good news: Schools that train elite scientists don't bother to have sports teams
The Bad News: They go out big for pranks...

Caltech students launched the prank-off with MIT during MIT's weekend for prospective freshman last year.
They distributed MIT T-shirts to visitors, who noticed much later that the shirts said, ''Because not everyone can go to Caltech" on the back.
Caltech students also designed a laser that projected the word Caltech on the side of an MIT building.

The Bad news: New Bird flu hype: It's a risk to biodiversity...
The Good news: We're going to die of global warming anyway, so why worry?
Or maybe not: The BBC climate program has an error in it...

And finally:
The Bad news: Ferrets carry the plague
The good news: If you dress them up like a bunny rabbit, they'll still carry plague, but look cuter when they bite you...
(headsup from Cuteoverload)

Arnold S. call your office...your ferret is here.
