Daffy & Marvin on NASA Mars Patches

Wide Web World icon

These are so freaking cool. NASA is launching 2 Mars expeditions this summer and NASA missions always have patches so they got Daffy Duck and Marvin the Martian! Unfortunately I don't think NASA merchandises their mission logos so only those working on the mission teams will have Daffy or Marvin swag.

Teen girls train FBI 2B teen girls

It's an obvious problem and they chose the obvious solution. Agents are posing as teen girls online to catch pedophiles. How do the agents learn to act like a teen girl? They get teen girls to train them!

The first time the girls gave a quiz, all the agents failed.

"They, like, don't know anything," said Mary, 14, giggling.

"They're, like, do you like Michael Jackson?" said Karen, 14, rolling her eyes at just how out of it adults can be.

Putting this in my "Comp. Security" category was a bit of a stretch but, hey, knowing who you're communicating with is a part of security.
