7/21/07

* India has named a 72-year-old woman its first female president.
* Tammy Faye died. She was 65 (and 4'11"). The first time she wore eye make-up, she took it off immediately thinking it was of the devil.
* More than 400 people have filed suits against the company that makes homeopathic cold reliever Zicam (based in Phoenix), saying the product has damaged their sense of smell and/or taste.
* Studies show that teen "girl talk" (chatter over boys, fitting in, appearance issues, etc.) is linked to depression in girls but not boys.
(So... You're telling me that girls get more wrapped up in emotional stuff than boys do at that age? Shocking.)
* Microchip implants (similar to the ones developed for pets) can be used to tighten security, keep track of Alzheimer's patients and for identification purposes. The technology is not advanced enough for someone (or the government) to track you all the time, but with all that important info stored in your arm, hackers could potentially steal your ID right out of there. The chips last for about 10 years. Your thoughts?
