GENDER-NEUTRAL SCHOOL - There's a pre-school in Stockholm, Sweden, that's designed to be gender neutral. They avoid words like "him" or "her" by addressing all the kids as "friends." Even the toys, books and colors in the room are carefully planned so the kids, who range in age from 1 to 6, don't fall into gender stereotypes. Do you think this is a good idea? What are the benefits/downfalls of such a school.

NO GRUNTING IN TENNIS? - There's nothing wrong with a little (or big) grunt when you're whacking a tennis ball, right? Well, not according to the folks at Wimbledon at least not if you're a female tennis player. Ian Ritchie, chief executive of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, the organization behind Wimbledon, said the grunting was "putting people off" and that reducing the amount of grunting would be "helpful."

TAKING A BITE OUT OF CRIME - The unidentified thug entered Eve's Bargain Booze armed with a knife and demanded cash but owner Eve Watson challenged him, grabbing her own blade. The intruder panicked and made a grab for the cash, only to have Watson's bull terrier bite him at least three times right in the groin.

CALL HIM A CEREAL OFFENDER - A Texas grand jury is mulling charges in a road rage case that involved one man tossing a bowl of oatmeal at another man who had pulled a pistol. The dispute started with one guy got upset over the second driver tailgating his daughter car. They swerved over a long stretch of Highway 146 until both men came out of their vehicles armed with the oatmeal-packing dude making the first move.

PANTS ON FIRE! A Florida landlord who was burning mad over a deadbeat tenant decided to settle the dispute by setting the man's underwear on fire while he was still wearing them! Jonathan Steinberg demanded his cash from Ronald Rohde, who threw him out of his room. Steinberg complied, but returned with a bottle of rubbing alcohol and matches, which he used to set fire to Rohde's boxers.

Finally, folks who rely on public transportation and are forced to sit among the weird and creepy have a place to go where they can share photos of the bizarre and peculiar things they see on the roads and rails. Check out TransitPeep.com.

TURTLES ON THE TARMAC - Some travelers at New York's Kennedy International Airport experienced delays yesterday morning for an unusual reason as there were turtles on the tarmac.
About 150 turtles decided to cross a runaway beginning at 7:30 a.m. and two hours later, the runway was completely shut down when "the bulk of the turtles started to go across," according to FAA spokeswoman Arlene Salac.

President Obama wants Congress to be like his daughters by getting their work done a day ahead of schedule. In his speech yesterday about raising the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, Obama pointed out that his girls, Malia and Sasha, "generally finish their homework a day ahead of time" and challenged Congress to do the same. Some Republicans actually agree. FYI: Obama twice said Malia was 13, but for now, she's 12.
