From Britain's Daily Mail:  Scientists are only months away from creating artificial life, it was claimed yesterday.

I've seen Harry Reid.  It's already been created.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A woman is suing a Chicago-area zoo for a 2008 fall near a dolphin exhibit, accusing zookeepers of encouraging the mammals to splash water and then failing to protect spectators from wet surfaces, local media reported on Thursday.  In her suit filed earlier this week, Allecyn Edwards said she was injured while walking near an exhibit at Brookfield Zoo, where a group of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins were performing, media said.

The dolphins are hotly denying that they were ever coerced to splash.  They do it, they say, because it's cultural.

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Student identification cards issued this week with the name of the school and its town misspelled are only temporary, school officials said.

Given the level of today's education, it's amazing they noticed.

HINGHAM, Mass., Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Police in Massachusetts said they arrested a woman who attacked a store clerk with a Slim Jim meat snack and a bottle of apple juice...The woman allegedly threw a bottle of apple juice at the clerk, striking him in the head, and punched him before throwing the Slim Jim snack at him. Then, police said, she tore down the store's flag and drove away in a black Saab convertible.

We usually don't expect Saab owners to do things like that.  They usually attack with tofu and vegetarian delicacies.
