New Alcohol Limits Placed on Race Fans

Spectators who are gearing up to watch the Bathurst 1000, a road race in Australia, will also be faced with a daily limit on how much alcohol they can drink. It's an effort on the part of the police to limit violence, which is thought to correlate with alcohol consumption.

The limit?

For beer drinkers: 24 cans per day per person, or 36 cans per day if drinking "lower strength beer."

For wine drinkers: 4 liters of wine per day per person.

Let's hope these new limits work...

A Tale of Two Brothers (and their shoes)

This is a story about two brothers. Rudolf and Adolf Dassler were born in Herzogenaurach, Austria. They were brothers much like any other brothers. Adolf was called Adi by his friends and he started a shoe-making business. Later, his brother Rudi joined the business. For a while, everything was fine.

But then, trouble started. The brothers quarreled and didn't get along so well. Sure enough, a rift developed between them.

Adi left the business and started another shoe business. Rudi, not to be outdone by his brother, did the same. The shoe businesses the brothers started are around today: Adi's shoe business is called Adidas, and Rudi's is called Puma. Maybe you've heard of them?

Jesus Dress Up!

If you've got some minutes to spare, and aren't easily offended, why not try out Jesus Dress Up!, a website that lets you dress up a crucified Jesus in different outfits. Buttons on the left of the screen let you select different themes, such as Holiday Jesus Dress Up! or Star Wars Jesus Dress Up!

Gorillas x Twitter

Twitter is being used for a new purpose: nature conservancy.

Soon, people will be able to 'follow' Ugandan gorillas on Twitter, in exchange for $1 donation to the Friend a Gorilla campaign. What does a gorilla have to tweet about? "OMG today I had the most delish termites for lunch. Nom nom nom." "Gary thinks he's such the alpha male, but really he's not." "Me hungry. Yeeeeeeek!" Well, perhaps not quite like that, but that's what I imagine anyway.

Oprah knows how to throw a party. Downtown Chicago was a mess for a couple of days, but this looks like an awesome way to kick off the season.
