1) Jimmy Carter Was a Normal Boy: On an appearance on The Daily Show, the ex-commander in chief declares, “as a young man, I was not 100 percent against…” before Jon Stewart cuts him off. The reference is to Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell’s 1990s crusade against masturbation.

2) A Sight for Sore Eyes: A photographer who watched the test drops of the Atomic Bomb shows his pictures and narrates the events.

3) What Social Network?: An interesting look at the early days of theFacebook.com, complete with damning IM convos.

4) Do Your Homework: Rather than doing that, a 17-year-old boy in Australia nearly took down Twitter.

5) An Unusual Smuggling Plan: Ok, want to smuggle some heroin into jail for your son? Here’s the plan. To avoid detection, put it in your butt to start. Then, passionately kiss your son so that he can swallow the drugs. Wait for them to emerge on the other side and sell them. What?

6) Iceburg Right Ahead: An author reveals how the Titanic actually sank. Bad driving.

1) Foxy Knoxy Coming to Lifetime: The infamous American will be played by Hayden Panettiere in a Lifetime movie, scheduled to air next year.

5) An Inside Job: Recently unearthed evidence suggests that a mass murder of Native Americans in the American Southwest was committed by ethnic rivals. 

6) Incredible Pictures: Photographer Thomas Hawk took some amazing pictures of the San Bruno aftermath. The Californian pipeline explosion killed at least 7 people. Now, some fear that New York City could be at risk, as well.

7) Next “Avatar” Will Be (Filmed) Deep: James Cameron wants to explore the Marianas Trench for the sequel to the hit film. I guess he has no budget. Only two people have ever been down to the deepest point in the ocean before.

8) Uhh… Consumer Service: A new website provides regional prices for marijuana. Don’t pay too much.

9) Scary Stuff: The anti-whatever-new-and-scary movement has struck again. In Sweden. This time an anti-immigration far right party won 20 seats and upset generations of political thought in the country.
