An Old Film Gets a New Script
Whose Line Is It Anyway? is supposed to feature improvisational comedy, but I have a hard time believing that the following is unscripted. The comedic timing is just too flawless.
The Food Court Musical
Improv Everywhere is known for busting out comedic performances in unlikely locations, so they staged a musical — in a shopping mall food court. It all started with the Hot Dog on a Stick girl crying over spilled lemonade and ended with the whole food court triumphantly singing about napkin shortage. Hungry patrons, clueless that the joke was on them, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Richard Simmons: Comedic Creepmeister
Who knew that everyone's favorite spazoid in daisy dukes was a wise guy, too? Richard Simmons made a guest appearance on Whose Line Is It Anyway? and flexed his comedic muscles for the camera.
The Bachelor: Dating For Dummies
As if the show isn't grueling enough to sit through, the women on The Bachelor were improv acting at a comedy club this week. I don't get it. These women are entertaining in their own brain-dead way by merely being themselves—why force the funny?

70,000 Women a Year Die From Unsafe Abortions
After three years of research, the New York-based Guttmacher Institute has concluded that although contraceptive use has lowered the number of abortions worldwide, unsafe abortions still account for a staggering 70,000 deaths a year, particularly in the developing world. More than half the deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa, a region with the lowest rates of contraceptive use and the highest rates of unintended pregnancies.
"In much of the developing world," said the Institute's president Sharon Camp, "abortion remains highly restricted, and unsafe abortion is common and continues to damage women's health and threaten their survival."

Mindfulness: It's Not Just For Spiritual Woo-Woo Types
Imagine taking a morsel of food, say, an almond, and savoring it very carefully, giving it your full attention. If someone told you that doing everything you can with that kind of attention would help reduce your stress level at work, relieve bodily symptoms like back pain, and keep you from bad habits like smoking, you might think they were nuts.
Yet that’s exactly what the practice of mindfulness does say practitioners like Buddhists, and increasingly, there’s clinical research to back it up.
