U.S. Isolates traveler infected with super-TB
Let me be the first to say "Thank you"
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has placed in isolation a man who may have exposed fellow passengers and crew on two May trans-Atlantic flights to a tuberculosis strain that is extremely hard to treat, officials said on Tuesday.
It was first time the U.S. government has issued such an isolation order since 1963, when it took action against a smallpox patient, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The vid is crappy, people need to learn to just leave the camera in one place, but it's the sound we're going for here. And the expression on the frog, of course.

Other countries have better political parties...
NEE is an impartial protest movement running for senate in the Belgian elections of June 10th 2007.
NEE works around political awareness and offers voters in Belgium the option to vote 'NEE' if they find that none of the parties deserve their vote. NEE votes would simply go to empty seats in parliament, resulting in a loss of income and power among the other parties and giving the voters the power to sanction politicians if needed.

Fat, Eccentric Planet Discovered
May 7, 2007 — Watching the scale? Stay away from HAT-P-2b, a fatty-boy planet with so much gravity a 150-pound person would weigh in at more than a ton.
The gas giant, estimated to be eight times the mass of Jupiter, was found by a team of astronomers orbiting a beast of a star located about 440 light years away in the constellation Hercules.
Not only is HAT-P-2b the largest planet found to date, it's also one of weirdest, circling its mother sun in a highly elliptical track that comes as close as 3.1 million miles before sashaying three times as far away. And it makes the trek, sizzling near the sun and freezing on the outback, every 5.6 days.
