From The American Progress Action Fund’s daily “Progress Report” email from today, 2/11/05: Whoops.

When you travel in the newer subway cars, you are “treated” to hearing an electronic voice talking to you all the time. Like the voicemail woman who welcomes me to Audix (thanks sweetheart).

I shit you not (pun intended): This is from a Special Broadcasting Service (I know, lame name) article from today: Thailand’s talented elephants are about to add toilet-training to their repertoire of skills, which already includes painting, dancing and playing musical instruments.
