[Weird thing of the day] Beware of Asteroid spaceships

[Aaron Solomon Adelman]

Greetings.

Jewish date:  26 Tishri 5771 (Parashath Noaḥ).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  Ten-Four Day, National Golf Day, World Animal Day.

Worthy cause of the day:  “Stop 'Corn Sugar' Now!”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Wasted Food Equals Wasted Energy”
• “Empathy’s failures”:  This is a scary look into the human conscience.
• “Reflective "death ray" torments Vegas sunbathers”:  Thank Barry for pointing this one out.
• “Ten Worst Passwords on the Web”:  If you use a password like any of these, please consider changing it.  All of these are pretty lame.
• “Every single Republican Senate hopeful is against climate change action”:  I am trying to stay out of American politics right now, preparing as I am to move to Israel, but this just scares me.
• “No U.N. 'Alien Ambassador' as the Bets Roll In”
• “The Pink Panther of Swindon: White cat is abandoned after guerilla grooming session leaving her so bright she 'glows in the dark'”:  Think Eureka the Pink Kitten from L. Frank Baum’s Oz books.
• “FBI drive for encryption backdoors is déjà vu for security experts”
• “This is a news website article about a scientific finding”
• “A Look At The Technologies and Industries Senators Leahy and Hatch Would Have Banned In The Past”
• “Insect Dinners - Waiter, There’s Soup in My Bug”
• “Dying to Eat: A Graphical View of U.S. Obesity”
• “WTF, kids swearing earlier now, researcher says”

Today’s weird thing is “Hello, want to kill some time?”, which lets you install a JavaScript bookmarket in your browser which lets you shoot items in the current Web-page with an Asteroids-style spaceship..  Enjoy, share the weirdness, and please don’t shoot my blog.
