- Exorcism Undergoes a Revival Across Europe – “Citing modern ills, hundreds of priests have trained to expel the devil.”
- Scientology Protests Start Across Australia – I know there were also protests in other areas – if someone knows a particularly good article elsewhere, feel free to leave it in the comments.

Well, what'd ya know… it linked it for me.

We actually had a class at my university called "Chemistry in the Kitchen". It was designed for non-science majors' science requirement. I always wanted to take it for kicks and giggles, but I didn't have time – I was too busy with the non-housewifey kind of chemistry!
Jen, I think your link is supposed to read "Scientology protests Start Across Australia".
exarch – Thanks for the proofreading! It's been a tiring week and I'm not as sharp as I should be :)
