very important news roundup

*Stoned Delaware Student Gets Lost in Connecticut: "Police said Cunningham, of Dover, Del., confessed that eating an entire bag of mushrooms, 'probably wasn't a good idea.'"

*NYT explains my most recently acquired vice: "Ultraviolet rays can make the time spent on a tanning bed more pleasurable, a study has found. 'These people are getting their little hit of UV,' one researcher said."

*Gawker is right on the money: "Morgan Stanley is the third Wall Street firm to pay big bucks [to sexually harassed female employees] -- Smith Barney and Merrill Lynch have previously paid out more than $100 mil combined.

*The Morning News describes various dog breeds. And now I so want a pit bull named Mandy.
