The best thing about this post is probably the video...

Society:
-Four Women Fired for Gossiping. Serves them right! ;) lol
-Qatar to create 'democracy center' for Arab world.
-Japan's jobless rate lowest in nine years.
-Gore Blasts Bush in 'The Assault on Reason'. He writes, "has exposed Americans abroad and Americans in every U.S. town and city to a greater danger of attack because of his arrogance and willfulness."

Ecology:
-World Biofuels Research. Four research projects in the Solomon Islands, Japan, Haiti and the UK show how green energy can be made from plants and recycled oils. But this could mean land and water shortages and deforestation.
-Greek scientists put their faith in hydrogen as the clean energy source of the future.
-Four white lions born in French zoo. The 30-odd white lions in the world today live in captivity in zoos or game reserves, representing all that is left of a species that originated in South Africa.

Technology:
-LG Electronics wants to patent a Wash machine with mp3 plug... In german, but damn funny.
-Razor-thin TV screen you can wear as a T-shirt. The display combines Sony's organic thin film transistor, or TFT, technology, which is required to make flexible displays, with another kind of technology called organic electroluminescent display.
-Virtual human puts doctors inside their patients.
-Croatian bees sniff out landmines.

Portugal:
-Relatório Freitas sobre Posei/Pescas aprovado na Comissão de Pescas do Parlamento Europeu.
