Culture Buzz Rabbis in Jerusalem (who apparently have their own justice system!) ruled that the spirit of secular lawyer who insulted judges 20 years ago has transferred into wandering dog's body so they sentenced the poor tramp to death by stoning. Luckily, the dog managed to escape before the bungling clergyman could carry out their holy punishment. (via ynetnews.com)
A 7-year-old named Julian found out the Spirit Mars rover was stuck, and sent this idea to fix it. NASA is so impressed that they're trying the idea and sending him an award for ingenuity. As if that weren't outrage enough, they're also naming the next rover “Curiosity,” on the suggestion of a sixth-grader. Awesome work, NASA. Don't come crying to me when the Russkies win the space race.
