With the opening of the pool, we have been watching painful belly flops as kids rediscover the relationship of diving boards and physics.

After Israel released a tape purportedly showing passengers on the Mavi Marmara making inflammatory comments, many questioned the authenticity of the tapes and charged that they had been edited. Leaders on the ship said that they never radioed the IDF to tell them “Go back to Auschwitz” and that they are “helping Arabs go against the U.S., don’t forget 9/11.” Now, the IDF has issued an unedited tape and admitted that the earlier version was edited.

A Fairfax County jury deliberated only 10 minutes before acquitting Sean Lanigan, 43, a popular schoolteacher and coach of aggravated sexual battery and abduction. The jury’s reaction and the paucity of evidence in the case has led some to question why prosecutors brought the case in the first place. They were back within 47 minutes to find him innocent on all charges.

Scientists moved closer this week to finding possible life on Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon. Scientists also believe that Titan could become a “paradise” in just four billion years. The downside is that the triggering event will be the Sun swelling into a Red Giant and swallowing the Earth. I suppose the lesson is “Red Giants Bring Titans.”
Ontario media are in a frenzy over a report that city employees in Mississauga were taped up, spanked and humiliated. The report indicated that the city’s transportation and works department employees were hazed and humiliated. It is not clear whether, during the spanking, workers were expected to chant Ontario’s motto “Loyal she began, loyal she remains”.

There has been global criticism of a Chinese factory making Apple products after a rash of suicides and complaints that workers are paid little and worked hard. Finally, Foxconn International Holdings Ltd. has acted: it has had workers sign that they would not kill themselves. It is a major breakthrough since overworked employees may be willing to take their lives but they would think twice before breaking a contract in China.
