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.

Nice of them to warn that it was wiener porn….
Regarding the birthday present for that 6-year-old, my wife is cutting onions next to me, why do you ask?
I hope we don’t get a followup story on this, if you know what I mean.
I so cannot wait for GI Joe. It’s not even funny. I wonder if they will make Destro all bald and silver in the end. Ecclestone is otherwise perfect for the role.
