Strange and Tragic

Connecticut woman Charla Nash was mauled by a 200 lb. chimp named Travis after being given the anti-anxiety drug, Xanax.  Travis was shot dead by Conn. police and Nash is hospitalized for her injuries.  Nash went to Sandra Herold's home to help calm the agitated chimp.  Police speculate that Nash was attacked because she was wearing her hair differently and was not recognized by the animal.  

Eight is Enough....

especially after already giving birth to six children.  In Whittier, California, Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets on Friday. That's a lot of babies. I look at my girlfriends and family members with their children and see how hard it is to juggle everything and can't imagine what it would be like to manage 14 children.  Good luck to you, Nadya.

Leap Second

A leap second will be added on December 31st, just before the new year.  The second is an correction to Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC, and based on the need to adjust accordingly to the movement of the earth's rotation.  

What will you do with your extra second?
