Friday Miscellany

Good news, more good news, and technological creepiness.

Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney are splitting up and having their marriage annulled, according to People Magazine. After a whirlwind romance, a quick wedding, and a four-month marriage, apparently something has gone wrong. My theory is that it's because Renee realized, "I'm Renee Zellweger, and he's Kenny Chesney."

A survey has discovered that an increasing number of women are experimenting with bisexuality. According to the survey, "11.5 percent of women, ages 18 to 44, said they've had at least one sexual experience with another woman in their lifetimes, compared with about 4 percent of women, ages 18 to 59, who said the same in a comparable survey a decade earlier. For women in their late teens and 20s, the percentage rose to 14 percent in the more recent survey."

I can't see how this could be considered anything but good news. Maybe this country is headed in the right direction after all. When history looks back, the "Bush administration" will take on a whole new meaning. (Groan.)

Researchers at Dartmouth College have invented a tiny robot that's a mere 60 microns wide and 250 microns long. That's smaller than a flea. A baby flea. It crawls around like a caterpillar.

I am not sure which is creepier: the thought of these little squirmy robots loose in my house, or the alien-looking Wakamaru robot that's touted to have the potential to replace human caretakers. Perhaps one would use the Wakamaru to give the Aibo a bath, to get rid of the flea robots.

It's a brave new world.
