早晨新闻: That's "morning news" in simple Chinese. Now you know.Things That'll Kill You Update: If you're keeping track of things that will kill you, as I do, add "grapes" to the list.

People I Hate But Will Pretend To Be Friends With: Paul Sims of Mequon was the latest Wisconsin lottery winner, taking home $920,000 after taxes.

Guess which story local moms clipped out and put on the 'fridge with a magnet shaped like a kitten?
