Rupert Murdock's News of the World has ceased publication ostensible in response to the phone hacking scandal in Britain. (Reporters hacked into phones of relatives of soldiers killed in Afghanistan, impeded a murder investigation by deleting phone messages on a missing girl's phone leading police to believe the girl was still alive, and bribed security officials guarding Britain's royal family.)
Fortunately the Sun is still publishing. How else would I learn that Austria's Niko Alm successfully campaigned to be photographed for his Austrian driver's license with a pasta strainer on his head? Although an atheist, Alm claimed to be a Pastafarian, a devotee of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, their "only dogma is the rejection of dogma".
A random mental walk.
