Zimbabwe’s $10 Million Bread | Newsweek International | Newsweek.com
Robert Mugabe has ruined his country. Inflation is kicking their ass - when the article was written, it cost $10 million for one loaf of bread. Printing money doesn't make things better, in case you were wondering. Neither does mandating prices.
Rising rice prices spark concerns - World business- msnbc.com
Rice isn't the only thing rising in price, but it's one of the most important things. Just as has happened with wheat, countries that grow a lot of it are either having bad weather, or are not selling their rice on the world market in order to keep prices cheap at home. So, people will probably starve.

Because once again, government knows what's best for you, even if it kills you in the process of saving you from yourself. (Price controls strike again!)
Governmental Wisdom!
U.S. warhead error adds to troubled history - Deep Background - msnbc.com
"Deep Background" is a joke - the level of detail and insight you'd expect is just not there, not in any of the articles they write. And their background picture is incredibly lame - yes, repeating 1s and 0s, combined with words like "FEDERAL GOVERNMENT", "TOP SECRET", and "OPERATION" make it look very professional indeed. The whole missile parts thing is pretty funny, though, but unfortunately, it is not a joke.
Nipple rings cause airport security issue - News- msnbc.com
Because, you know, you could potentially yank them out and stab someone with them. Or, even more threatening, in the process of removing them in order to stab someone, someone may inadvertently glimpse your breast and either be paralyzed with disgust or lust, whichever best suits them, and be unable to perform their duties, like flying the plane. Truly, nipple rings are a terror.

The nose knows: Smell sharpens during danger - More health news- msnbc.com
Who knew? Or should I say, who nose? (hahah. Yeah, this isn't too surprising, I know, but the setup for the bad pun was too good.)
Experts find oldest voice recording - Science- msnbc.com
It was made about 17 years before Edison made his famous recording of Mary Had a Little Lamb - by a French guy. Before anyone starts cheering or jeering or getting snooty, though - there was no way to play it back. Edison is still the first to reproduce sound.

Meditating can make you more empathetic and benevolent.

Japan appoints cartoon ambassador - Asia-Pacific - msnbc.com
Yes, they really did. It's Doraemon. He's going to promote anime. So, it looks like there soon will be no place on Earth where I can go to not see that cat.
Look, a Doraemon!
