today's headlines

Some of the most read news headlines from the BBC:

• * UN halts Burma aid after seizure
    - the government of Myanmar apparently wishes to distribute the food themselves.
• * Europeans get drunk 'to have sex'
    -A third of 16 to 35-year-old men and 23% of women questioned said they drank to increase their chance of sex.
• * Great tits cope well with warming
    -Researchers found that great tits are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars.
• * Hezbollah takes over west Beirut
    -On the radio this morning it was suggested we could be looking at another civil war in Lebanon.

The situation in Myanmar warrants a whole other blog post, as it's so insane.

I'd say the situation in Lebanon also warrants its own post. Also insane.

Very true, Jason. I fear I have much research to do on that one, though, as I still don't understand the situation over there to a great degree.

I'd just like to point out that all of you must be the most mature people on the planet. I can't believe you all resisted the 'great tits' story. Everyone else had to weigh in.

Well, they don't do well cold ;)
