Aparently in Saudi Arabia, there is a right way to beat your wife, and then there is a wrong way to beat your wife according to Saudi author and cleric, "Dr." Muhammad Al-'Arifi. He lectures people on issues like this much in the same way that Dr. Phil talks people.

At any military funeral, there are some things that you always expect to see. One of them is the traditional flag folding, where each of the thirteen folds is done with a recited line. Now it has been banned at the Riverside Cemetary in California.

Aparently scientists recently killed the oldest living animal on the planet. A 410 year old clam that they pulled up from the dark ocean. No, it wasn't dead when they found it, or died in the process of being brought up from the ocean. They drilled holes into the clam to figure out how old it was. Lovely, isn't it?
