Pregnancy-Pact City to Vote on Contraception Pact

The school board in Gloucester, Massachusetts, the city of pregnancy-pact fame, is set to vote on a plan to distribute contraceptives to students. If passed, the schools and the students could enter a secret-contraception pact without parents knowing - in other words the schools would distribute condoms and such to students without parental consent.

Despite well-publicized rumors that 17 high school girls in the city decided to have children and raise them together, the mayor favors distributing contraceptives only with parental consent.

Most of you think that states should not require a teen to notify her parents before she obtains an abortion. Well, what about preventing pregnancy altogether - should public high schools distribute contraceptives without parents knowing?

The Double Gloucester Cheese Run!

Remember the commercial, "What would you do for a Klondike bar?" Well, people from around the world will roll down a hill, risking life and limb, for a giant round of Double Gloucester cheese at the annual Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake. (As a cheese lover, this makes total sense to me.) Lest you think this is merely child's play, consider this: the cheese can reach speeds up to 70 mph, it knocked over and injured a spectator in 1997, and it's a pretty uneven and steep hill so there are always sprained ankles and broken bones. Here's some footage of this year's cheese roll. (Mmmm, cheese roll.)

Extreme Cheese Log Chasing

The following is footage from Monday's 2007 Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling. The description accompanying the video explains that "every year daring competitors throw themselves down an almost vertical hill [while] chasing an 8lb Double Gloucester Cheese log." Well, it's about time that hurling yourself down a hill chasing cheese is considered an acceptable form of fun!
