Mark Wahlberg is a Roman Catholic who goes to church every day to pray to be a better servant of God, and to try to be a better man.
Refreshing to hear a Hollywood star open up like this while so many of his peers speak of Christianity with such vitriol.

Today in strangeness – The Great Boston Molasses Flood happened on January 15th, 1919. A large tank burst and 2.3 million gallons of molasses barreled out in a 30 ft. wave leaving 21 dead and 150 injured. Witnesses stated that as it collapsed, there was a loud rumbling sound, like a machine gun as the rivets shot out of the tank, and that the ground shook as if a train were passing by. Holy nightmare.
Some residents claim that on a hot summer day the area still smells of molasses.
Considering the phrase “slow as molasses,” how could these people not outrun the seeping spill?

A new alarm clock design that forces you to stand up.
Here are some other alarm clock designs that might help you get out of bed.
The Transportation Security Administration says they’ve collected about $400,000 in abandoned change from passengers emptying their pockets through security checkpoints.
Unclaimed money is documented and turned into the TSA financial office. The airport receiving the most change from the TSA was New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport whose passengers in 2010 abandoned $46,918.06.
This puts my change jar to shame.

Unfortunate Juxtaposition spotted in today’s edition of the Swedish daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter, a full-page ad promoting cruise line packages just to the right of a full-page article about the Costa Concordia disaster.
Newspaper layout people should know better than this when a disaster has occurred.
Six dead, 16 missing is the latest count in the Costa Concordia disaster. A couple from Minnesota are among the missing.
