You know that thing where you're walking down the street or doing some other mundane chore while narrating your every move in that deep, silky LaFontaine-esque movie trailer voice?

Whether or not Kim Nguyen wins her lawsuit against the LAPD, we can all agree that being ejected from a moving police car while wearing handcuffs is a poor way to end a night out. [Los Angeles Times]

After having his beloved Raleigh hybrid lifted by a thief from right outside his apartment in the pre-noon hours of August 21st, Quentin Matheson resigned himself to never seeing the 13-year-old bike again.

"The average height of European males increased by an unprecedented 11 cm between the mid-nineteenth century and 1980." Who needs an empire, when you're tall?

On October 7th, Prince William, a grown, married man who has a child and a bald spot and a real job that requires him to fly helicopters and save people's lives, will do something very exciting, which is: organize the first-ever official soccer game at his nana's house.

Foster Kamer at Complex reports that pro-gay New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner unknowingly danced to Jamaican dancehall song (Capleton’s “Bumbo Red”) about murdering gays and lesbians at the West Indian America Day Parade:

A pair of teenagers who allegedly tried to pull off a robbery at gunpoint in Charlottesville, Virginia, last week picked the wrong two victims for their mugging. When police arrived at the scene of the attempted robbery last Tuesday night, they found Johnny Calderon Jr. and Gerald Allen bloodied and in the custody of the two unidentified men who they had immediately before been trying to rob. Judging from the condition of Calderon and Allen, their intended victims made it very clear that they were not the kind of people to willingly part with their valuables when faced with the threat of violence.

While finishing his testimony in front of the Foreign Relations committee—where he testified more than 40 years ago in opposition to the Vietnam War—Secretary of State John Kerry was interrupted by Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, who yelled "We don’t want another war."

A new Quinnipiac poll of the New York City mayoral race has Bill de Blasio leading at 43 percent—more than double the support of Bill Thompson, at 20 percent. (Quinn trails with 18 percent.) If de Blasio can garner more than 40 percent of the vote in the primary, he can avoid a runoff.

The world's most famous feline mayor remains in critical condition today after being mauled by a dog while strolling through his hometown of Talkeetna, Alaska.

Since 9/11, the NYPD has transformed itself into a mini CIA in an effort to fight terrorism. Associated press reporters Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman have admirably exposed the NYPD's intrusive, and possibly unconstitutional, secret surveillance program in a series of articles that won them the Pulitzer Prize. Their new book, Enemies Within, details how NYPD basically treats the entire Muslim population of New York City as potential terrorists—mass-surveilling mosques, deploying undercover "rakers" to snoop on random hookah bars, restaurants and cafes—with negligible results and less oversight even than the NSA's spying programs. To promote the book and refute the NYPD's pushback, the duo today released a cache of documents related to their investigations.

Neil Young has understandably made a very big deal out of his one-of-a-kind LincVolt, a 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible that's been retrofitted into an electric car. The Canadian icon has been driving the one-million-dollar prototype around North America, intermittently documenting his trips, all in a concerted effort to promote green energy. He probably wasn't documenting the experience two Fridays ago, when the LincVolt broke down in the Sierra Nevadas, and he was momentarily stranded.

On Labor Day the The New York Times reported that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), an “influential pro-Israel lobby group,” was pushing Congress to bomb Syria. By the time the story appeared in Tuesday’s newsprint edition, however, all references to AIPAC had been quietly excised. The websites NewsDiffs and News Sniffer show that the piece was entirely rewritten, more or less. What happened here?

Wall Street, home to a collection of timid monied kittens, is fearful of what Larry Summers may bring when he becomes the new Fed chairman. Restoring prosperity to the middle class is reportedly Summers' top priority. See? Nothing to worry about, Wall Street. That's pure fantasy.

Being on your own is tough. Just ask these homesick seniors from the University of Vermont.
