Com muito humor e alegria... ao João e á Joana

Society:
-Smokers more likely to get dementia: report. I always knew that they didn't work well on that top floor.
-Backlash forms against 'zero tolerance'. In Rhode Island, a kindergartner was suspended for bringing a plastic knife to school so he could cut cookies. Shame on you...
-Moms can now compete for Miss Spain beauty crown. The Miss Spain beauty contest has changed its rules to allow mothers to compete after its decision to dethrone a 22-year-old beauty queen when it emerged she had a child met with national outrage in February.
-Blair knew US had no post-war plan for Iraq... surprise surprise!!!! didn't you knew that already????

Technology:
-Scientists launch scramjet in Australian Outback. The rocket carrying the scramjet reached speeds of mach 10 -- ten times the speed of sound.
-High-precision optical metrology study. An ESA-funded study of high-precision optical metrology has developed prototype systems capable of relative positional accuracies of the order of 0.1 millimetres over distances of tens or hundreds of metres.
-Space station computers back up. Four days after they crashed at the international space station and curbed the outpost's ability to orient itself and produce oxygen.

Science:
-'Lost' towns shed light on Islamic past. The three towns - Nora, Asbari and Masal - have mosques facing Mecca, Arabic inscriptions and a well-laid out grid. Ethiopia has put a question mark on the history of a nation which prides itself on its overwhelmingly Christian heritage dating back to Biblical times.

Humor:
