Several interesting little tidbits on the front page of the Express caught my eye this morning during an otherwise boring commute, running the gamut from the very serious to the borderline ludicrous....
1. I'm no military expert, but it seems to me that if a mission has been "accomplished" and that if an insurgency is being defeated, then we should never be seeing the phrase "sectarian death squads" on the front page of any paper. That's just my humble opinion.
2. Scientists have now genetically-engineered "allergy-free" kittens. They've done something that removes some of a certain protein from the kitty DNA (does the cat actually *need* the protein???) that causes allergic reactions. For $4,000, just one of these kittens could be yours! Or, I did the math... for $4,000, you could also have a nearly-11 year supply of the generic version of Allegra.
3. The TSA has announced that they are relaxing some of the restrictions on banned items in carry-on luggage after that recent terror scare. You can now bring on up to 4 ounces of the following: "eye drops, saline solution, non-prescription medicine, and personal lubricants." Um, wow. You are now free to move about the cabin and....do what?!?!?

Are you kidding? Personal Lubricant??? Holy Crapper.
Nope, not kidding. That's what the paper said!
Gee, 4 oz of saline solution, can they spare it? The smallest bottle of saline solution I've ever seen was 16 oz. I have this picture of contact lens wearers lined up at Reagan National, squirting out gallons of saline solution at a time, to get their bottles light enough.
