Stress disease kills Australia's koalas
I don’t really understand how these Koalas became infected with Chlamydia in the first place… The article compares it to cold sores in humans, which can stay latent and flare up in times of stress, but with cold sores, warts, chicken pox, herpes, mono… can’t you not have a flare up unless you’ve been infected? Then, once you’ve been infected you will always have it, even if it’s not always causing a direct problem at the moment? How did the koalas get STDs?!

Unpaid bills mount for top Chrysler executive
This article is riddled with personal contradictions between his claims to believe you only need enough to get by to have a fulfilled life, and his actual life style… Perhaps if he practiced what he preached, he wouldn’t be facing financial ruin…

Green Bay Packers: Bengals' Ochocinco plans 'Lambeau Leap' for Sunday

10 of the Freakiest Ice Creams
I don’t know why this blogger and the one in the link he provides seem to be so perplexed by what flavors are in superman icecream, or why so many seem to think there’s banana… I had it at the Front Porch in Grand Haven, MI and it consists of Blue Moon, Lemon, and Raspberry… Banana? That’s crazy talk!

17-room home next to Obamas' Chicago home for sale

Body Worlds plans cadaver show dedicated to sex
I really enjoyed the Body Worlds exhibit when it came to Milwaukee, and I understand that sex is a necessary part of the continuation of life… but not death. I realize the people are dead, their souls have moved on, and it is only their shell that is on display. Still, the idea of being posed having sex with some other random dead person after I’ve left this earth is quite unsettling. I am SO being cremated when I die!

Semenya withdraws from race amidst reports she's hermaphrodite
It’s terrible that she is being internationally humiliated in such a way, especially if this is a genetic condition she has no control over! So what if she naturally produces more testosterone than most females and has a natural advantage! Have more testosterone doesn’t make her not a female, having and XY chromosome makes her not a female… test that!

I’m sure the only reason the adoption moved quickly is because the baby girl has special needs, and has nothing to do with the fact that her adoptive parents are celebrities with oodles of money… Still, I think this is REALLY awesome!
