Thanks to my co-worker, Shannon, for forward this to me. Not sure who to credit for these—if you know the designer, please let me know!

Snagged via Yahoo! News. By far the weirdest interaction during their presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. McCain’s a tool.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Anyway — check her out she’s a Pulitzer prize–winning columnist, author, speaker, and commentator who refuses to call herself a pundit. Offers some good insight.

CERN’s 17-mile long atom smasher was just turned on and we’re awaiting reports on how the tests have gone. The Large Hadron Collider did experience “small electrical problems” overnight, but the world did not blow up.

A joke, but with a hint of truth. People around the world are hoping a new president in the White House will bring positive change to US foreign policy — and more trust Sen. Barack Obama rather than Sen. John McCain to “do the right thing” in world affairs, according to this international survey of 24 countries by the Pew Research Center.

Padded lampposts are being trialled in a London street to protect inattentive pedestrians. A pilot scheme has been launched in Brick Lane after it was found to have the highest number of ‘walking and texting’ injuries in the country. A study carried out by 118 118 found one in ten people has hurt themselves while focused on their mobile phone screen. The charity Living Streets is so concerned that it has teamed up with the directory enquiries service to test a scheme to wrap up the nation’s lampposts. A poll will be carried out on Brick Lane to gauge the response of locals. If successful, the concept will be rolled out in Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool.

Couldn’t the city just mandate that all texters/walkers wear a helmet? Living Streets must be a little PR hungry right now, thinking they could get into the tabloids pretty quickly with this great idea.Click here to read the original story.
