In case you missed it while stuck between the pages of a good book, engaged in a good ole nine-to-fiver, or traveling to a war zone with limited contact with The Economist and the BBC, here are a few highlights to bring you up to speed on recent events:
- Awwww, Israel has a new friend.
- The Invention of a real-life Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak
- Overhead luggage may move during flight. So may United Airline’s seats.
- Bush had the W. Obama has the O.
- Aussies suggest eating Kangaroos to save the world. (Anyone else think this environmentalism has gone full circle?)
- George Orwell rises from the dead and starts to blog.
