Miners in South Africa discovered a 507-carat diamond this week – one of the 20 largest rough diamonds ever found. Kobe Bryant immediately bought it and gave it to his wife... just in case.
Russian chess master Garry Kasparov handily defeated Anatoli Karpov (9 to 3) in a rematch commemorating the 25th anniversary of their epic first duel in 1984. I'm sure we all remember what we were doing that day 25 years ago... Not watching chess.
The President of the World Bank said yesterday that the Euro could replace the American dollar as the new world currency. No word on how the change will affect the free toaster giveaways.

Jon Gosselin will no longer appear on “Jon & Kate Plus 8” and as of November 2, the TLC show will be called “Kate Plus 8.” Also the part of Kate will now be played by Kathy Lee Gifford.

The President of the World Bank said yesterday that the Euro could replace the American dollar as the new world currency. Meanwhile Chairman of the Fed Ben Bernanke says that's ridiculous. The only currency that could replace dollars are I.O.U.'s.
Mark your calendars guys, Sarah Palin's memoir detailing her 2008 run for Vice President will be released on November 17th and it's called, "Going Rogue: An American Life." - "Going Rogue" is a cool title... although it's pretty close to McCain's 2008 election memoir, "Going Insane."
