In more serious news, CNN is reporting that ACL injuries are affecting more young, female athletes. ACL stands for the anterior cruciate ligament. Say that three times fast. Then read the full story here.

And unless you are not quite sick of news about Anna Nicole Smith--or her baby or her alleged boyfriends--the autopsy results are in today: She died of a drug overdose from presciption drugs. Duh. I'll let you find that story on your own, which shouldn't be too difficult.
Steer clear of tbe beans and space suits.
