- The U.S. was officially declared “in a recession” and the stock market took a nosedive. This is a lot like when one of your friends is obviously pregnant, but no one says anything out of politeness. Then, when she finally tells everyone that she’s pregnant, everyone feigns excitement/amazement/abject horror that said friend is spawning. (NYT)
- Recession or not, we still have the money to fund research on bullets that change direction mid-flight. I wonder if it involves throwing your elbow out of socket like in Wanted? (Wired)
- If you don’t mind spending at least three days vomiting, you and four of your friends could win $1000 ($200/ea) if you eat a 50lb. cheeseburger in under 3 hours. The Great Outdoors, anyone? (ABC via Consumerist)
