random news update:

haven't done this in awhile, but some headlines are just BEGGING to be shared.

here's what started it off:
* Michael Jackson wants Vegas robot -- indeed, a robot is a cool thing. a 50 foot one in anyone's image, a little scary... one that shoots laser lights and roams around a city? dude. i'm glad i've been to vegas PRE-giant robot, because i don't know that i want to meet such a thing!

moving onward:
* German man chainsaws house in two in divorce split -- that's one "creative" way to get what you want... i can't believe he completed the job before someone caught on and stopped him!

...and because Germans apparently do lots of strange things lately, we have:
* Police rescue 91-year-old man glued to roof

this just makes me smile:
* Swords into plowshares, mortars into Frappuccinos -- three cheers for ethiopia.

and finally, as always, science is just plain cool:
* Pressure of Light Can Move Liquid

the end.
