...regulatory agencies and legislature all tainted by the revelations disclosed during the impeachment trial. Two days before Estrada was forced to resign, his newly appointed Executive Secretary, Edgardo Angara, a respected former Cabinet Secretary, voiced hope that the crisis atmosphere would "help push through those structural reforms that in normal times are so difficult to do, so that we can prove those people wrong who say democracy can never work in the Philippines...
...creatures housed at the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center are nothing more exotic than monkeys, one experiment performed here and reported in last week's Science had something in common with the Spielberg thriller: an animal, produced by genetic manipulation, like nothing else on Earth. Despite its utterly normal outward appearance, the Rhesus monkey known as ANDi bears an extra gene taken from, of all creatures, a jellyfish.

I figured I'd go to amihotornot.com a website where masochists and narcissists alike post their photos anonymously and let visitors rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. Because high school kids like to go to the site and scan in yearbook pictures from the Most Likely to Keep Using the Thyroid-Problem Excuse category--or snapshots of their shirtless dads...
