You might want to read this, and share it with your - ahem - older friends. Enjoy!

Plus, when you look up at the moon, have you ever wondered where it came from? You haven’t? Oh…well, I do. And now a new theory says that everything we used to believe about the moon’s origin might be wrong. (True nerds like me will enjoy this one.)

And did you hear what the director of Titanic and Avatar did? He took a dive. A big dive. A seven-mile-deep dive. You should see the video.

Lindsay Lohan has been deemed to have completed her probation requirements and is now a free woman. Judge Stephanie Sautner took Lindsay off probation altogether in what her honor called “the endless” 2007 DUI case. Lohan had good reason to work hard to complete her court appointed activities…If Lindsay had not completed the terms of her probation, Judge Sautner could have sentenced her to 270 days in jail. Now all Lindsay has to do is OBEY ALL LAWS for the next 2 1/2 years. “I know it’s kinda hard when people are following you all over the place” said the judge “but that’s the life you chose.” The judge also told the actress to “Stop nightclubbing and focus on your work.” Lindsay and her lawyer,
Shawn Holley, thanked the Judge and that was that…

Congrats to the students of Horizon Middle School in Aurora. Last week 67 of them became published authors.

It’s a program that I oversee as part of my non-profit foundation, The Big Brain Club. We’ll have a similar program coming up in May at Weld Central Junior High School. It’s very cool to see the smiles on the faces of these 6th-8th graders when their poems, short stories, and essays are professionally published.

You can read all about it right here in a story from the Denver Post.  If you want to find out more, just go to the Big Brain Club site.

The L.A. County Coroner’s Office released the cause of Whitney Houston’s death yesterday. He said Whitney’s death was caused by drowning, and also the level of cocaine she had in her system that she’d apparently used in the bathtub at the hotel. “Accidental drowning” is listed as Whitney Houston’s official cause of death.  While investigator found no traces of cocaine in Whitney Houston’s suite the night she died, the Coroner’s Office says Whitney did indeed use cocaine “immediately prior to her collapse.” Coroner Chief Craig Harvey said the cocaine level in Whitney’s system was “acute” indicating she used the drug not long before she accidentally drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel. The autopsy also revealed a 60% narrowing of Whitney’s arteries, a direct result of her chronic cocaine habit. Harvey claims the artery constriction led to a cardiac event before her death. Marijuana, Xanax and Flexorall were also found
in her system, but were said not to play a part in her death.

Cool stuff this week, including a strange new way for you to receive a text or phone call…through your tattoo. Huh?

Also, scientists are now suggesting that human males are not that different from fruit flies. But, of course, you knew that, right? You’ll like this story, because it’s all about how we handle rejection.

Plus, finding a new species of animal is very cool, but not that unusual. In fact, scientists are stumbling across them all the time. But wait until you see WHERE they found this cute new frog.

These stories, and more, are patiently waiting for you right here. It’s time for you to get your nerd on!
