some headlines
In the news today*:
- Oldest fossil 'rabbit' unearthed: BBC reports that a 55 million-year-old rabbit-like creature has been unearthed in Mongolia. I don't know, usually these kinds of stories aren't that interesting to me, but something about ancient rabbits struck my fancy.
- Canadian PM called 'Mr Dithers' by The Economist: I didn't feel like actually reading the article, but the name seemed pretty funny. It seems like Paul Martin is kind of an unnoticeable Prime Minister so far. But after a quick glance I don't think the article mentions the whole paralyzed-by-a-minority-government situation, which is probably the reason he's not acting like the crazy old fiscal conservative he used to be.

- Vatican offers exorcism lessons: In addition to breakdancing, the Pope has also become concerned of late with the growing number of small girls who can spin their heads all the way around.
