Yeah, we're back

Well, it's been another great week for positive weirdness. A guy successfully flew over a gorge wearing a peroxide-fueled jet pack and NASA has perfected a device that allows astronauts to recycle their own urine into potable drinking water. Scientists have cured one guy of AIDS with stem cell therapy and studies show that happy people watch less television than unhappy people. Preliminary research suggests that more often than we suspect cancer just goes away all by itself without treatment.

As a special bonus, National Geographic provides us with video footage of a really weird species of deep water squid.

On the down side, pirates are running amuck in the middle east and misguided producers continue to encourage the governor of Alaska to talk on TV. Also, yesterday Dragon got into a fight with some guys at the airport offering free round trips in exchange for opening a new line of credit. "I know you've got to work and all, but maybe you shouldn't be encouraging people to get credit cards in this economic climate. That's kind of how we got into this mess." Said drones replied that credit was great and helped fuel the economy. Perhaps they dropped out of a time warp. Still, the new administration takes over in just under two months and we're keeping our chins up!
