WikiLeaks, arsenic & coeducation

Even as US officials decide how to go after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, he threatens to deliver his next bombshell.

What could it be? How about a heretofore secret rough draft of the Bible which reveals, among other surprises, a reference to "the other woman" in the Garden of Eden?

The news that bacterium can live on arsenic in place of phosphorus has many imagining new life forms on Earth and even other planets. But it may also present a new defense strategy for the wife suspected of poisoning her man.

"I was trying to help him in case phosphorus gets too expensive," she could plead. "I just fed him too much."

Taking coeducation to its logical conclusion, George Washington University is one more institution of higher learning to offer gender neutral housing, allowing male and female students to live in the same dorm room.

Will this lead to an expansion of the college Greek system - from Fraternities and Sororities to Paternities and Maternities?
