Just when it seemed like Australia couldn’t get more full of themselves, the skies have to just smile down on them.
Jupiter, Venus and the Moon were aligned just after sunset so that they formed a happy face over the country/continent that gave us Yahoo Serious and Fosters beer. Witnesses also reported hearing the song of angels, but that was just the iconic Sydney Opera House’s choir rubbing it in a little.
Americans will get to see it tonight, one day later. Oh, and because of our position, the moon will be flipped around, frowning at us.
U.S. astronomers suggest just staying indoors at 20 to 30 minutes after sundown, and pretending not to know what Australia’s talking about when they call.

In case you’ve ever wanted to smell like Penn State, now you have your chance. In contrast to what many believed would be a fragrance that made you smell like old people (Joe Paterno), apparently the Nittany Lions smell like flowers and cracked pepper. And for whoever plays Penn State in a BCS Bowl this year, your supply of “you know how I know you’re gay?” jokes have just been giftwrapped.

He was recently spotted on this past Friday taking part in the retail festivities known as Black Friday. His main purchase? A complete band set of Rock Band 2. Not one to miss out on a deal, Johnson said the game as well as a stereo and Cuisinart four-slice toaster were for his coach.
Sure they were, Chad. Sure they were.

Thanksgiving has come and gone and left behind the traditional amount of deaths and injuries in its wake. We all know that it’s nice to go home for the holidays, but really, isn’t the true American holiday tradition that of finding new ways to hurt ourselves.
I’m not talking about family arguments and hurt feelings, I’m talking about injuries both turkey-related and non-turkey-related.
Perhaps the biggest domestic story of the Thanksgiving break was the traditional late-NFL season Wound From a Deadly Weapon (WFDW). New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress, a poster child for why our heroes suck, was shot at a night club. It was only found out later that the person who shot Burress was Burress. Not only can this man catch anything thrown at him, he can even catch a bullet. He currently leads his team in WFDWs, but the Cincinnati Bengals league the league overall. Read more
