Radioactive Spider-Musical

1. Spider-Man the musical is set to open on Broadway soon with a reported cost of $65 million, despite less than thrilling previews.  Making this money back will be even more daunting since most of those in attendance will be without dates.

2. Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's coffin is going to be auctioned off this month and the bidding is expected to start at $1,000.  Not to be outdone, the executor of Jack Ruby's estate will start Ruby's coffin at $1,500.

3. Police in Europe are officially on the lookout for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in relation to rape allegations.  Assange has already been in seclusion after releasing diplomatic documents damaging to the representatives of many countries.  If only there were some... organization that could... leak... his exact location.

4. GOP leaders said today that they will continue to block all legislation until the Bush tax cuts are extended.  Democrats say the most hurt by this move is funding for the Cancer Organization Coalition, and that it doesn't surprise them at all that the GOP would even resort to COC blocking.

5. Astronomers today released a study showing that there may actually be three times as many stars in the universe as previously thought.  The new count is estimated at 300 sextillion.  Astronomers are excited for the discovery but more excited that they were somehow able to get 'sex' into their lives.

High five.
