Zooming in on an 1842 photograph of Cincinnati, bloggers identified two human figures at the edge of the Ohio River, possibly collecting water. It's younger than this 1838 Paris daguerreotype, but still one of the first pictures of living humans.

Little Jimmy O'Keefe, the video fabulist who killed ACORN, tried to break into a senator's phone system and creepily plotted to seduce a CNN reporter, has a new video out. This time he caught teachers talking cavalierly about their students!

A New Jersey postal contractor driver has been charged with the old-timey crime of "desertion of mails," for a May incident in which he just dumped 32,000 pieces of mail into the woods. He was having a bad day!

Here is an odd, elderly-looking (2,000 year-old?) baby in church, dancing as if possessed by the Jesus Spirit. Give that baby a cigarette and tape it to a wall, it'll be the biggest thing on the internet!

Northwestern University, champion of the stern administration email! Last year, some Northwestern kids had the bright idea of dressing up in blackface for Halloween. This year, the dean's not taking any chances. "Pimps and hos" and "gangsta" parties are unacceptable.

Charlie Sheen was discovered at the Plaza Hotel this morning naked, drunk, and in a trashed hotel suite with a "damaged" chandelier. (Swinging from the ceiling?) Hospitalized with ex-wife Denise Richards by his side, Charlie said he'd been "out partying."

Guilty Americans enjoy nothing more than assuaging our collective guilt over raping the earth by purchasing "green" products, with labels helpfully telling us how these "green" products are saving the planet. Too bad they're almost all fake, somehow.
