Hey,

First up -- Vikings may have used crystal "sunstones" to navigate the seas. No archeological evidence yet, but the science is interesting.

Next up -- Did you hear about the US citizen being detained in Pakistan for shooting two guys? The US wants him released because they claim he's with the state department and has diplomatic immunity. They also claim he was firing in self-defense at two robbers, a third Pakistani man was struck by a consulate car coming to the diplomat's rescue. Recent reports from the Pakistani police suggest that the victims might actually have been robbers, but the whole thing still reeks like a dead fish. Perhaps I'm naive, but I didn't think diplomats went around packing heat. Anyway, we're once again winning hearts and minds in Pakistan so...go us.
