...publicly endorse the Illinois Democrat. (The Obama campaign later repudiated McCain's message in its own series of robo-calls). Voters have already received recorded phone messages from Rudy Giuliani, Scarlett Johannson, Jay-Z and "Joe Martinez the Plumber." Even "Obama Girl" is lashing out at the campaign tactic. Listen to various robo-calls from the 2008 campaign...
...could resist watching lizards do push ups? We all know that humans like to show off to get a little attention every once in a while, but I never knew that doing push-ups to impress the ladies isn’t an exclusively Homo sapien mating tactic. As it turns out, color plays a big role in interactions between the sexes.

When the U.S. justice system failed to convict the 1930s mobster for racketeering and murder charges, he was finally run in for tax evasion. Griffiths says arms traffickers have one obvious vulnerability: their need to ship arms on boats and planes, most of which require registration. When the E.U. introduced strict safety standards for air-cargo carriers two years ago, its leaders weren't thinking of arms dealers. Yet of the scores of companies they have...
