The verdict's in: men don't fancy funny women
The Independent: While it is well known among men that women are attracted to funny men even if they look like boiled frogs, apparently, research shows men find female wits a turn-off.
Research to be published this week in a leading academic journal “Evolution and Human Behaviour” confirms what many female comics – and funny women – have long suspected: men are frightened by their brand of humour. While men might chuckle at the odd gag, when it comes to finding a long-term companion they do not want a partner who will fire a stream of witty repartee at them. And this is according to the study carried out by academics at some of the world’s top universities. “Men see being funny as a male thing,” explained Dr Rod Martin, who led the project.

Russia plans to put a mine on the Moon to help boost energy supply
The Independent: Russia has staked out plans to recapture its Soviet-era space-race glory and start mining the Moon for a promising energy resource that scientists say could meet the Earth’s power needs for more than a thousand years.
Nikolai Sevastyanov, head of Russia’s giant Energia Space Corporation, has unveiled plans to build a permanent base on the Moon within a decade and to start mining the planet for helium 3, a sought-after isotope, by 2020.
The curse of Stonehenge will remain until it is handed back to the druids
Guardian Unlimited: “Stonehenge may be vital for national security but, as a world heritage site, it is a national disgrace. Consultants have made millions but achieved nothing in 20 years.
I have attended many Stonehenge consultations. They are raving madhouses. The sanest people present are the pendragons, druids, warlocks, Harry Potters, sons of the sun and daughters of the moon. They have a clear use for the stones and speak English. Weirdness sets in with Wiltshire county councillors, health-and-safety officers and archaeologists, all of whom think the stones are theirs as of right. But for total extragalactic dottiness, nothing tops the Ministry of Defence. It moves only in twos, each official with a soldier doppelganger at his side.” ~ Simon Jenkins
Man lives in tree after domestic spat with wife
BBC News:“No amount of coaxing can make him leave his tree house,” says a local resident. Even during a devastating cyclone in 1999 when winds of 300 km/h destroyed large parts of Orissa and killed thousands, Kapila continued to live in the forest.

London Soundtrack by The Crystal Method
Listen to the full CD soundrack from the movie as a streaming mp3 off winamp.com. You’ll need the free winamp player if you don’t have it already.
“L.A.’s Crystal Method have been referred to as America’s answer to the Chemical Brothers. A dance-based electronic duo with a definite rock band feel, the comparison would seem appropriate, although it tends to erase what makes the group distinct: a solid base in American hip-hop, rock, soul, and pop.”
Help Save Japan’s Dolphins!
More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat. Send a letter to President Obama, Vice President Biden and Japanese Ambassador to the United States Ichiro Fujisaki urging them to address this issue »
