An American family vacationing in Greece recently enjoyed a subdued, respectful trip abroad and returned to the United States without brutally killing and eating everything that wandered into their path.

What kind of science news are you looking for today? Do you want to hear about ancient Greek murder caves? Korean unicorn caves?

Taking its cues from Zumba classes in Kennebunk, a Greek soccer team is now partly paid for by prostitution. The amateur team Voukefalas will wear practice jerseys emblazoned with the logos of two local brothels, "Villa Erotica" and "Soula's House of History."

Karen Klein, the upstate New York bus monitor who became the face of America's bullying problem when a video of schoolchildren taunting her went viral earlier this year, has launched an anti-bullying foundation she hopes will put an end to it once and for all.

If you're going to be racist at the Olympics, you have to do it quietly, like everyone else.

Appearing on the Today Show for the second time in as many working days, the elderly bus monitor who last week fell victim to the cruel taunts of middle school children from upstate New York finally opened up on her plans for the nearly $650,000 that have been raised so far through Indiegogo.com, ostensibly to send her on the "vacation of a lifetime."

Something hilarious happened during the Very Pagan Olympic Opening Ceremony Extravaganza Spectacular in Greece today: the Olympic flame went out, like, immediately after they lit it.
