Sports games to take feeds from the Weather Channel and update themselves!

Sounds pretty cool, not that I play sports games. I hope other games pick up on this idea. It'd be neat to see different weather patterns while running through different outdoors areas. If you could go into Preferences and select, say, Cloudcroft, for weather during forest sequences, that'd be really cool if it were raining outside and raining in the game!

School is getting weird for kids these days

Pervert-proof panties in Japan that prevent IR-modified cameras from "seeing through" the material.

Stab-proof uniforms in England.

Bullet-proof backpacks here in the US of A.


So after they're born, lock 'em in a steel coffin with intakes for air, water, and food and outtakes for the stuff that needs to be taken out, and keep 'em in it for 21 years. Ignoring the fact that going to school is statistically as safe as flying in an airplane and that, regardless of what Dateline's To Catch A Predator, their estimate that "there are 50,000 predators online at any moment -- a number the show pretty much made up out of thin air, though that didn't stop Attorney General Alberto Gonzales from citing it as fact in a speech last year. But a study conducted by the University of New Hampshire estimated that there were fewer than 2,900 arrests for online sexual offenses against minors in a single year. What's more, only 1,152 involved victims who were approached by strangers on the Internet -- and more than half this number were actually cops posing as kids."
