18

My Roommate just got a new computer, we are apple dorks.

silly, silly news.

"A George Rogers Clark High School junior arrested Tuesday for making terrorist threats told LEX 18 News Thursday that the "writings" that got him arrested are being taken out of context...He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into police was a short story he wrote for English class...."It didn't mention nobody who lives in Clark County, didn't mention (George Rogers Clark High School), didn't mention no principal or cops, nothing,"
said Poole."
I wonder if he got a good grade... grammer and all.

It has always seemed obvious, -- "Milk and dairy products do not promote healthy bones in kids and young adults, a Washington-based research group found after analyzing 58 studies. The review was prompted by a "calcium paradox," the researchers said. Though Americans are some of the world's highest consumers of dairy products, U.S. rates of osteoporosis and bone fracture also are among the world's highest."
But, it by products are so tasty!

Usually a fan of Minnesota and its laws... not this time -- "A new bill introduced in the Minnesota House last week would prohibit 21-year-olds from drinking at midnight on their birthdays. Individuals would have to wait until 8 a.m. instead." bummer.

Good work mom, (article in full) --

"A six-year-old boy has been suspended from a Christian school in Illinois after his mother refused to spank him.
That's according to the mother. Michelle Fallaw-Gabrielson says her son had been piling up disciplinary notes for such offenses as talking out of turn, chewing gum, and bringing toys to school.She says she knew he was a disciplinary problem, but she never anticipated what occurred on Wednesday. She says when she arrived at Schaumburg Christian School to pick the boy up, an assistant administrator ordered her to spank him. When she refused, the official said her son was suspended.

The next day, the mother withdrew the first-grader from the school."

and, of-course... "A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated."

I really suggest you read that last one for fun visuals like, "Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor."

and finally, it is my brother's birthday. he is an adult. 18. weird.
