Enjoying Your Vacation?

I hope you are enjoying your Regents week. Make sure you stay up on your reading, as we are having an Awakening uberquiz on Monday. In the meantime, enjoy these two interesting news stories that have popped up lately:

Where is Mary Shelley when you need her?US scientists close to creating artificial life

Not quite Oedipus, buuuuttt....
Unknowing twins marry each other

Also, it's tragic about Heath Ledger (not to mention Brad Renfro), but why the ubiquitous coverage? (Answer: Because we're not that different from the Greeks. We subconsciously, perversely, love tragedy because it makes us feel better about ourselves.)
