School Has Never Been This Fun!
The staff of Virginia's private Alexandria Country Day School will be a little more careful about where they store their leftovers the next time they have a party. The staff, faculty, and Board of Trustees had a Mexican-themed dinner complete with margaritas. Apparently, they stuck the leftover liquor in a school refrigerator. Can you figure out what happened next? That's right, the booze was mistaken for "limeade" by school workers and was served to students at lunch. The mix-up happened because the school ran out of milk and the alcohol had no negative effects on the students, who "sipped it and said that it didn't taste good." The embarrassed school head Alexander Harvey promised parents that booze will now be banned on campus.

Scientists Figure Out Why Women Are Bad At Math
According to Rex Jung, a psychology professor at the University of New Mexico, there’s actually some SCIENCE behind the chauvinism.
Jung and his colleagues gave men and women intelligence tests…then studied whether the subjects used GREY or WHITE BRAIN MATTER to answer questions.
Turns out…men use six-and-a-half time more GREY MATTER than women…and grey matter is directly related to math, map-reading and information processing.
Women use NINE times more WHITE MATTER than men…which is connected to emotional thinking, use of language and multi-tasking.

Really Old Dog About To Turn 27 Years Old
Jerry is one old dog that doesn't need to learn any new tricks.
Jerry turns 27 next month -- which is really old for a dog. A veterinarian in Australia said the mongrel cattle dog could become the world's oldest living canine.
When Jerry turns 27, he'll be the human equivalent of a staggering 189 years old. The oldest living dog according to the Guinness record book is Butch, a 27-year-old beagle in Virginia.
Dr. Honey Nelson said Jerry is in such good shape, he could push on to 28.
Owner Waddie Harris said Jerry's Outback lifestyle contributes to his longevity. He notes that Jerry has grown up on kangaroo, rabbit and emu meat.
