Nearly 60,000 people a day in the United States undergo treatment or tests that leave tiny amounts of radioactive material in their bodies, according to the Society of Nuclear Medicine.

‘This is just another reason why Stephen Colbert rules. For those of you who don’t know, last week Stephen Colbert made a hockey game bet with Oshawa, Ontario Mayor John Gray. If Colbert’s team lost, he would have to wear the opposing team’s jersey. If Mr. Gray’s team lost, he would have to declare his own birthday, March 20, to be “Stephen Colbert Day” in his city of Oshawa, Ontario (that’s in Canada btw).
Colbert’s team won. March 20th is officially “Stephen Colbert Day” in Oshawa, Ontario. Here’s Colbert’s victory phone conversation with Mayor John Gray.’

‘A New Zealand postal worker who is in trouble for scrawling abusive comments on school exam results says it was all supposed to be a joke.
The arrival of final year exam results can be fraught enough without free and frank character analysis scrawled by a mischievous postie.
Daniel Zeigler recognised the names of students at his former Christchurch secondary school while he was sorting their exam results.
The 18-year-old offered a somewhat blunt critique of their leaving certificate efforts in blue marker pen.
New Zealand Post, embarrassed by the incident, is promising to review its procedures but apparently cannot charge the temporary worker because under the law, sorting and stuffing exam results in envelopes is not regarded as tampering with the mail.
Mr Zeigler says everyone should lighten up – it was just a joke.’

“When we get someone for not stopping for a flashing school bus we give them a citation. So I shouldn’t be any different so I did,” Knoebel said.
Not only did the chief have to pay a hefty fine, he gave himself a four-point penalty on his license.’

Woods’ ultimate destination is Virginia, where he claims his late mother left him a house. He said he took care of her in Alaska until her death.

‘It was supposed to be college day for the students of Ware Shoals High School in South Carolina, a chance to learn about educational prospects at a local institution. But according to police, two of the school’s cheerleaders ditched the event (the exact date hasn’t been made public) and instead headed to a motel with Jill Moore, their coach. There, they met up for a tryst with two National Guardsmen who recruited at their school. Moore loosened things up by allegedly providing the girls with vodka. Then, the cops say, she repaired to a room with one of the soldiers and set up a different room for the two cheerleaders and the other soldier to “hook up.” According to authorities, the second Guardsman and one of the girls later admitted that they had a sexual relationship.’
