Ground Zero Reconstruction Planners Ditch Timetable
The building schedule for skyscrapers and a memorial planned for New York City's Ground Zero have been tossed out by the World Trade Center owners, due to unrealistic goals and rising costs.
Planners will announce a new timetable this September, seven years after the Twin Towers fell, according to BBC. Officials previously promised that the Freedom Tower, set to replace the destroyed towers while taking the title of the nation's tallest building, would be complete in 2006, then 2011, and finally in 2013.
Wolf Whistles Drive Woman to Protest — By Getting Naked?
An Internet news rumor run amuck? Sites were reporting this shocking story as fact yesterday — do you believe it? Apparently, a road crew in the small town of Kerikeri, New Zealand, was repairing the main street when they decided to pay too much attention to one woman — who decided to let them know just what she thought about their behavior — by stripping.

Catcalling Construction Boys Get Punk'd
Construction workers have a reputation for checking out and even gibing the "chicks" who pass by their work sites. No woman should ever tolerate any dude's catcalls, which is exactly why our no-nonsense heroine has decided to take revenge by giving the boys exactly what they want — one hellavuh peep show.
Live Action Sign Language
A hacker with too much time on his hands reconfigured the wording on a construction sign posted by the side of a highway in Dedham, Massachusetts. I'm sure he got the "rise" he was looking for, but of all places, outside a Toys R Us?! Someone needs his mouth washed out with soap— for more reasons than one.
Do, Dump or Marry? Craig Ferguson
In addition to being charming and funny, the Scotsman-turned-denizen of LA and host of The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson can add memoirist to his list of accomplishments — he has a new book out called American on Purpose.
In a USA Today interview, he discusses some of the book's many revelations, including how he dropped out of school at 16 to join a punk band and that one of his favorite jobs was working as a construction worker. I love that Craig can make cornball humor seem edgy.
Caster Semenya Now in Hiding, Tests Reveal She's Intersexed
It's easy to forget that in the middle of this battle to figure out South African runner Caster Semenya's sex, there's an 18-year-old, raised as a girl, who trained hard to win the gold medal at the World Championships in Berlin last month.
Now that the IAAF's (International Association of Athletics Federations) sex test results have come back and reveal that Semenya is intersexed, she's in hiding.
The test results indicate that Semenya doesn’t have a womb or ovaries, she has internal testes and three times the amount of testosterone that an average woman would have.
