Man Apologizes for Traffic via Twitter

This article I found is about a guy who's car stalled in the center lane on the 5 freeway in Seattle.  The man (Micheletti) was actually heading to the BMW dealership because the service light had come on recently and was going to get it checked out when his car stalled.  He missed the dealership by two miles.  Micheletti called for a tow truck and then decided he was going to post a message on Twitter.  He posted, "That black BMW stalled in the center lane on the I-5? Yeah that's me, I don't like it either."  Within minutes people were reposting his message.  About 20 minutes later AAA was able to move his car to the shoulder and finish towing him the rest of the way to the dealership.  Then again Micheletti was on his Twitter thanking all for their help and apologizing for the inconvenience.  He seemed amused at all the attention he was getting over his post.  This story just shows how much people rely on the Internet for communication and information.

New evidence of alien life!!

Aliens exist, and we have proof!!!
That astonishingly awesome claim comes from Dr. Richard B. Hoover, an astrobiologist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, who says he has found conclusive evidence of alien life — fossils of bacteria found in an extremely rare class of meteorite called CI1 carbonaceous chondrites. (There are only nine such meteorites on planet Earth.) Hoover’s findings were published late Friday night in the Journal of Cosmology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Revelation about Lincoln stirs controversy

Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address has inspired Americans for generations, but consider his jarring remarks in 1862 to a White House audience of free blacks, urging them to leave the U.S. and settle in Central America.
"For the sake of your race, you should sacrifice something of your present comfort for the purpose of being as grand in that respect as the white people," Lincoln said, promoting his idea of colonization: resettling blacks in foreign countries on the belief that whites and blacks could not coexist in the same nation.
