Batman
According to movie critics, Heith Ledger’s performance in the movie Dark Night is brilliant and Oscar worthy. Ledger’s friends and family were happy he was able to finish the shooting of Batman, otherwise it would have been awful to be only remembered as the gay guy in Brokeback Mountain.

The latest Batman movie doesn’t have a Robin. But for the Robin fans, don’t despair, you can always go and se Mamma Mia!

Banks
Freddie Mac is preparing to issue stocks for sale. You can get them in one ply soft with 1000 sheets or the two-ply super soft with 650 sheets.

Obama
Barack Obama says that he'll rid the world of nuclear weapons. McCain, on the other hand, just asked the Pentagon if there’s any chance he can connect the nuclear launch controls to his clapper.

Leno
Jay Leno is saying that he's officially done with NBC and will be leaving the network. I don’t want to say the Network is in crisis after Leno’s departure, but today even the peacock quit.

Bush
A little girl cried and ran away when she met President Bush at a White House Tee-Ball Game. Apparently, the little girl misunderstood Bush when he repeated her age thinking Bush had said he was going for four more years.

US President George W. Bush agreed to set a "time horizon" for US troop withdrawals as part of a long-term security pact, the White House said Friday. Apparently, it is getting really hard for the president to stay away from golf.

Old guy
A 94-year-old man arrested in a prostitution sting will not be prosecuted because the judge ruled that he was a victim of entrapment. Apparently, the prostitute asked him if he wanted a happy ending and the old man said "Of course, hopefully in my sleep."

Studies
A new study says that eating too much tofu may raise the risk of memory loss. Apparently, people start forgetting what real food tastes like.

A professor of DePaul University in Chicago estimates that 15 to 20 per cent of people are chronic procrastinators. The study will be published later this year, or next year, or maybe never.

A study says that loud music in bars encourages people to drink more. Apparently, loud music reminds customers of their wives screaming at home.

According to a recent study, the odds of being elected president of the U.S. are one in ten million. The odds decrease considerably if you are Ralph Nader.

China
Beijing is working on a way to clear its smog-choked skies. Starting Sunday, officials began restricting the use on the streets of motorcycles, cars and tanks.

Police in China accidentally shot a reporter during a press conference to publicize the success of a new gun-control program. The reporter was from The Tibet News.
