NO PREVIEWS

Shortly before the kickoff of Super Bowl 44 on Sunday, a group of captains representing the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints will meet at midfield. Referee Scott Green will introduce the ceremonial coin and a member of the newly elected Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2010 will toss it to determine who gets the ball first.

Brian Benson, an eighth-grade student at Pawleys Island Christian Academy in Pawleys Island , South Carolina, won first place in the Science Fair (Biology divition) by disproving (parts of) evolution. How did he do it? He claims to have created stalactites from salt which, according to godless scientists, are supposed to take millions of years. I could make a ton of snide comments but this article makes enough for me.
