Extra, extra, read all about it

Here's a few news stories I found particularly interesting today. Nothing political and definitely nothing too practical, but please, indulge yourself.

• "Fifteen minutes of flame"? That's so corny it sounds like I wrote it.
• And I just went to one of these meetings last night. Certainly nothing like brains on the wall.
  
• Could these people have been bigger assholes? Probably not. Poor little old guy.
