-- 6-Year-Old Saves 5-Year-Old Friend From Drowning

-- Reading the comments of this Smart Bitches post about the cover of next week's New Yorker makes me want to go spend the rest of the day in a bookstore. And why isn't there a scented candle or something that'll make your house smell like old books? I'd buy it in bulk.

-- As someone on Jezebel said, you'd think the conservative Christian camp wouldn't want their daughters displaying their sexual attitudes on their pants.

-- An Indian couple was divorced without their knowledge ten years ago.

-- Greece holds first gay weddings. Yay for them! Although this statement annoys me: A Greek Orthodox priest described their homosexuality as a curse and the mayor of a neighbouring island said the sight of same-sex couples would upset "good families" on their holidays. So those families not upset by the sight of same-sex couples are bad? Thanks for that.

-- Jason Biggs is going to repeat his marriage vows after eloping. I link mostly because a lot of the article is from Alyson Hannigan's point of view, since it sounds like she introduced them, and she sounds so darn cute. :)

-- Kevin Federline named "Father of the Year" by a Las Vegas Club.

There's nothing else that smells like old books. It's kinda like a mix between history, knowledge, humor, fantasy, and life.

Though, when we had the gas leak at work, the DPW tried to convince us that the gas smell was actually old books. Erm... no. Idiots.

Not old books, but can I interest you in a stripper candle? (http://www.hotwicks.com/)

OMG THEY HAVE A PANCAKE CANDLE. *grabbyhands*

Ooo, and a pigskin one! Which isn't the inside of a basketball gym which gives me major happy memories of my high school basketball team, but STILL.

Oh. Campfire! If that really smelled like burning firewood owning it would be a moral imperative.

i know it's not the same thing and i know it's not fashionable to engage in nomenclatural anachronism or whatever it is called, but still. 'Greece holds first gay weddings' looks so very wrong, not in the sense of gay weddings being wrong but in the sense of... well, you can imagine!

And now I have that Radiohead song stuck in my head...
and true love waits / in haunted attics / and true love lives / on lollipops and crisps

(I have had lollipops and crisps listed as an interest on Facebook, MySpace, and LJ for years)

I have no idea what it smells like, but Demeter does have a scent called Paperback.
