Groups Argue Lead Ammo Should Be Regulated: A group of 100 environmental organizations has petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate lead in ammunition as a toxic substance, pointing out that lead exposure from eating something that was shot with a lead bullet can lead to crippled motor coordination, severe digestive problems as well as blindness and death. After reviewing all the EPA data, police are now advising anyone who happens to shoot a burglar - to refrain from eating them afterwards.

Not Better Off: A new CBS poll found that nearly 80 percent of Americans say they are not better off than they were four years ago. I assume that the other 20 percent must own Apple stock.

Lincoln Museum Pulls John Wilkes Booth Bobblehead: A John Wilkes Booth bobblehead doll complete with pistol has been pulled from the shelves of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum gift shop in response to complaints that selling such an item is in bad taste by making light of Lincoln’s assassination. All I can say is lighten up! Its not like its gonna kill someone if they carry a John Wilkes Booth doll.

What Should Happen to Our Facebook Account When We Die: Lawmakers and attorneys in at least two U.S. states are considering proposals that would require Facebook and other social networks to grant access to a loved one’s account when a family member dies, essentially making the site’s contents part of a person's “digital estate.” Of course about the only “digital estate” that any of my sleazy friends would leave behind would basically consist of the porn collection that they downloaded off the net.

Star Swapping: Astronomers are now suggesting that planets who orbit double stars may swap stars periodically, orbiting one for a while and then heading for another. So, apparently even planets have difficulty with commitment.

Who in the he'll eats gun shot animals anyways? It's all slaughterhouses from farm raised.
You'd be surprised. A lot of people still hunt and shoot their own game. Especially in rural America.
Actually, those 80% are not better off from about 15 years ago. Not much actual growth from 1997 to 2012 considering two recessions.
So true Ken
