Sports Buzz I give up…Tim Tebow is indeed God's chosen quarterback. Spotted during the Broncos' upset overtime victory against the Steelers.
Science Buzz We're used to seeing rainbows in mist, but it turns out they appear in smoke as well. (Photo by Grover Schrayer)
At least it is on Twitter. Netflix announced they are spinning off its DVD service and branding it as “Qwikster,” but apparently forgot to check Twitter and see if someone was already using that name. Personally, I don't think you could have done any better of a job in selecting a Netflix…or sorry, a Qwikster mascot than a pot blazing Elmo that hates sloppy seconds. Now you'll be mailing out pot AND DVDs, yes? Another bold marketing move from Netflix.
Celebrity Buzz The new tell-all from Joe McGinniss—The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin—isn't even out yet, but the skeeziest bits are already oozing into the media septic tank. Here are the tabloidiest allegations leveled at Sarah and Todd Palin from The National Enquirer's report on the book.
Culture Buzz A blue-ribbon commission on international drug policy, including former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and billionaire Richard Branson, says that the “War on Drugs” has been lost. The prestigious panel recommends decriminalizing marijuana and shifting enforcement emphasis to treatment rather than incarceration.
Culture Buzz What horrors lurk beneath this grill cover? Well, as you've probably assumed from the horrid pun, bees. A guy noticed a few of them flying around his barbecue and set off a bug bomb. This is what he found in the aftermath. Read his whole story here.

Holy smokes! NASA released this image of the Los Angeles fires as seen from a satellite in space. It was taken mid-morning on Aug. 30 and shows the smoke plumes rising approximately 4.3 miles above sea level.
Check out this super-cool photo of a Russian volcano eruption as seen from space. Those lucky duckies on the International Space Station took it, and scientists are excited because it shows the shock wave and top of the blast steam bubble. I'm excited because it looks like a marshmallow covered with that disease my goldfish always get.

Scott's Variety Store and Bar-B-Q in Hemingway, S.C., slow-smokes whole hogs over hardwood coals - a way of cooking that is disappearing. This food is seriously slow.
Culture Buzz Photo art made from nothing more than everyday smoke. No one’s ever been a big fan of smoke in general, but with the right lighting and a little help from Photoshop, it’s making a huge comeback.
