Nunc Scio

All is right with the world, as the Pittsburgh Steelers win their sixth Superbowl. Best team ever? You bet.

Oh, and some other stuff happened too.

World

• A German architect has found a perfectly preserved 1988 apartment filled with Soviet-era products…exactly as it was when the original occupant fled the Stasi.
• The survivors of Flight 1549 have been bumped up to “Super-Elite” passenger status for the rest of the year. Hey, great. All you need to do to get good service is have your plane land in the Hudson River.
• Worst. ATM. Ever.
• Politicians in Alaska rightly question if Sarah Palin is 100 per cent focused on being the governor.
• 4,000 women are seeking public office in Iraq. That’s encouraging.
• Remember that octuplet story from last week? Yeah. It’s starting to get weird.
• A 128-year-old woman has been found in Uzbeckistan.
• A boy in Nevada gets the best Christmas present ever…his dad, back from Iraq.

Science & Tech

• Archaeologists think they may have found the wreck of the HMS Victory. Not Nelson’s, the one before it.
• An extinct Ibex is now back, thanks to cloning.

Pop Culture

• Bruce Springsteen’s savage crotch-slam on a hapless Superbowl cameraman…on tape!
• All the Superbowl movie trailers worth watching: Star Trek, Monsters vs. Aliens,  Transformers 2, Land of the Lost, and GI Joe. You’ll note I left off The Fast and the Furious 4.
• A Toledo cable station managed to spice up the Superbowl with some inexplicable porn.
• Finally, some up-close shots of the Motorcylce Terminators from Terminator: Salvation. And some pretty concept art to go with it.
