Wet Scabby Wounds, Cher's Kiss Notes, Britain's Muslin Fun Day, and the Google Blog

1. British theme park Alton Towers called off its planned "National Muslim Fun Day" due to "lack of interest" today. The park released in a statement that it is "disappointed that the planned Family Fun Day Sunday 17th September has had to be cancelled." Really? They didn't see it coming? (Reuters)

2. Cher apparently sends ex Gene Simmons a love note every year, which leaves Simmons' wife, Shannon Tweed, none too pleased, particularly when her husband signs the notes "Love, Puppy." Hardcore. (Daily News)

3. Turns out that what most of us thought was right is completely wrong, and thank god the NYT is around to tell us. While most nurses and folks think that giving a wound fresh air so it can breathe will accelerate healing, it actually dries out the cell and "promotes cell death." So, smother the injured baby in some vaseline and band-aids, and also pick at your scab after some time. Turns out that not touching your scab at all has been bad advice too. And suddenly the day got brighter.

4. Who knew. Google has a blog. And it's boring. And it won't let you comment about how boring it is. Written by what seems like every person that works there, it shows that when everyone pitches in, they can make something that's pure crap.
