The biggest story I'm sure everyone heard about last week was Toyota's issue with their cars. There was a problem that caused the car to be unable to slow down and continue accelerating. Some people are infuriated by this because of the safety issues, but it's not all bad (NASCAR anyone?). Perhaps this is a good sponsorship opportunity for Tiger Woods. Can't you see the ads now? "If I had a Toyota, my wife would've never known."

Obama released his lastest proposed budget for science in the United States. Almost every organization saw an increase in funds in this budget, all except for one: The Center for Disease Control. This is even as NASA sees a $500,000,000 increase. Because everyone knows that once you get out into space, disease ceases to exists. Because of this discovery, health clinics across the country are offering flu shots filled with "space." What harm could come out of that? 

As talks for the next Bourne movies are falling apart, Damon has reportedly said that Bourne IV may be a reboot, looking at the early years. Think "The Birth of Jason Bourne: The High School Years." Major plot points will be Bourne beating up the local school bullies with only a telephone book, breaking into the school to change his grades, and dying his latest girlfriend's hair black.

The Unannounced Expansion: We Just Want Your Money... Seriously, There's Nothing New in This ExpansionFinally, The Sims turned 10 years old last week! The Sims has changed the way that we view video games and what exactly a video game experience can be. It has allowed people to take control of other people's lives and live out that ultimate "What if...?" scenario. Something else The Sims has pioneered? Nickel and dimming you to death with expansion packs. Thanks for that...
