Weird: Biologists in the French alps found an uncracked duck egg that had several live minnows in it. They are appealing to the public to help them figure out how this could happen!

Theology: The “Open debate on Calvinism” that was to happen a week from now has, sadly, been cancelled. Mike has a roundup of the details.

Sports: Is it just me, or is this Monday Night Football crew the worst we’ve seen in a long time? Last night they were talking about ordering the women of Desperate Housewives in order of the ones they’d most want to sleep with. And I thought they were there to talk about football!
