Naked Man Arrested for Swimming Near JFK Airport Fuel Depot

A naked man swimming in the waters near the main aviation fuel storage area at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport was arrested and charged with trespassing, the authority that runs the airport said on Wednesday.

Patrolling officers spotted the man at about 10.50 a.m. on Tuesday.

"When the patrols approached the man, he ran toward the fuel farm, and was caught near a boat dock," Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said in an e-mail response to Reuters.

Teens Challenge All You Can Eat Pancakes at Denny’s

The true value of any all-you-can-eat deal depends on just how much food you're able to funnel down your gullet while you're sitting at the table. But seven teenagers in California most certainly got the most out of their dining dollar last weekend when they gorged on hundreds of pancakes at a local Denny's over the course of 24 hours, and all for $5 each.

According to one boy's father, the seven young 'uns swallowed 301 pancakes, for an average of 43 pancakes each. He estimates that each diner consumed around 14,000 calories, which, figuring in syrup, margarine and beverages, seems to match up with the nutritional info on Denny's website.

From OCWeekly.com:

“[O]ne boy nearly fell asleep on the toilet, and that Denny's actually ran out of pancake batter and had to go out and buy more.”

I don't know which is more horrifying: the sheer amount of food consumed, or the idea of seven teenagers taking over a Denny's booth for 24 hours.

Al Gore Got a “D” in Science

The man who told us that “the earth has got a fever” …

In his commencement speech at Hamilton College on Sunday, former Vice President Al Gore told the graduates that global warming is “the most serious challenge our civilization has ever faced.” But as an undergraduate at Harvard University in the late 1960s, Gore--one of the most prominent spokesmen on climate change today--earned a “D” in Natural Sciences.

Gore’s transcript documents that during his sophomore year at Harvard he earned a "D" in Natural Sciences 6 (Man’s Place in Nature). Also, as a senior at Harvard, he earned a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118.

Gore, along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work on global warming.
