A “pro-life” group in Ohio is suing the government to make sure the “poor” don’t get health insurance under Obama-care!
WHY? You might ask!
Because this might give them access to State funded abortions at some time in the future!
(Nuff said, eh?)

We have a new “Winner of the Day” folks:
The routine part of this shoplifting story out of
Miami is that police stopped a woman trying to leave a supermarket with
$300 worth of unpaid-for food.
The not-so-routine part: Upon hearing that the accused was a mother of three in dire straits, the arresting officer went back in the store and shelled out $100 from her own pocket to buy the woman groceries.
“I made the decision to buy her some groceries because arresting her wasn’t going to solve the problem with her children being hungry,” says officer Vicki Thomas.

MEANWHILE: Over on the other side of the fence we have an “Asshole of the Day” award split between the kid who was “car surfing” and the other kid who was driving!
A teen who had been in critical condition after falling from a vehicle while “car surfing” in Brampton, Ont. has died of his injuries.
The 19-year-old had been riding on the trunk of a Honda Civic in a parking lot on Tuesday afternoon when he fell off the car and struck his head on the pavement, Peel Region police say.
The teen was rushed to hospital in Brampton with severe head injuries and then transferred to a trauma centre in Toronto for treatment, but later died.
A 16-year-old boy who was driving the car has been charged with criminal negligence causing bodily harm and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

This might shock you, but for over a century scientists have been pondering why kettles whistle—and completely failed to find an answer. That’s all changed now, though, thanks to two scientists from the University of Cambridge who have worked out how it happens.
As steam comes up the kettle’s spout, it meets a hole
at the start of the whistle, which is much narrower than the spout
itself. This contracts the flow of steam as it enters the whistle and
creates a jet of steam passing through it. The steam jet is naturally
unstable, like the jet of water from a garden hose that starts to break
into droplets after it has travelled a certain distance. As a result, by
the time it reaches the end of the whistle, the jet of steam is no
longer a pure column, but slightly disturbed. These instabilities cannot
escape perfectly from the whistle and as they hit the second whistle
wall, they form a small pressure pulse. This pulse causes the steam to
form vortices as it exits the whistle. These vortices produce sound
waves, creating the comforting noise that heralds a forthcoming cup of
tea.
THERE, now aren’t you glad ya asked?

Finally, some good news from BlackBerry Ltd.: Its popular
instant messaging app appears to be a hit among Android and Apple
smartphone users.
The company said more than 10 million people signed up for the
BlackBerry Messenger service in the first 24 hours after its release on
Monday for non-BlackBerry users. The company says it is processing new
users at a rate of 500,000 an hour, with millions more queued up.

A 13-year-old boy carrying a replica assault rifle has been shot dead by police in the US state of California.
Officers in the city of Santa Rosa say they opened fire after the boy
refused orders to drop the rifle, which they believed to be real.

Doctors now have convincing evidence that they put HIV
into remission, hopefully for good, in a Mississippi baby born with the
AIDS virus — a medical first that is prompting a new look at how hard
and fast such cases should be treated.
The case was reported earlier this year but some doctors were
skeptical that the baby was really infected rather than testing positive
because of exposure to virus in the mom’s blood.
