So shouldn't you tell us more about them? Come on you're a journalist. What is with this half assing? Kidding.

I'm a journalist too, and thought that today's best story on the wires began "Arnold Schwarzenegger does not want to destroy the moon." Definitely under-reported, what? It earned top spot on my (brand new) blog.

We need more Arnie stories! if only to keep us smiling.
