I've become addicted to international newspapers! A pox upon the houses (and Martin and Bobbie you know who you are ) of those who brought websites like the following: http://www.newspaperindex.com/ to my attention.
Did you know that vehicle burglaries are up 600% in San Marino?! Of course, that's only 6 cars, but jeez its a crime wave over there.

eastham,
I seriously recommend you sit back, relax. Then without hesitation grab the plug of your PC and pull it out! Walk out of the room and do not return!
But.... but..... come back later.....

Look at the bright side...with all those vehicles in the shop waiting for glass work, car accidents are down 600%!

They're trying to get rid of the last 3 letters in the Swedish alphabet...å ä ö and I just learned to pronounce them!!!!!
I guess Feral that they've doubled the number of free parking spaces!

I'm movin'! That'll save me 150 bucks a month! Although I think my Lexus will probably block the entire street.

I've actually been to San Marino. It's as big as half of Central Park. They don't even have those 6 parking spaces.
Musta been the tourists' cars...

40K Tumbleweeds parked in 250K parking spots! There you go. If we parked them in San Marion, I'm afraid they would, well tumble (no pun intended) over the edge. It's just a rock in the middle of a plain. A small rock.

Have you seen the newspaper from Antarctica yet today? The penguins are mating, up 23% !!!
Keep cool, east. Select about 20 papers from around the world so that all the major geo-political areas are included, and read them each morning along with all the normal US papers. Twenty is all I can handle---takes about 90 minutes to go through on regular news days, maybe two hours early in the morning.
The addiction can spread--if you find yourself taking a day from working so you can read the cool editorials in the Azeri BakuToday---GET HELP!!!
In fact, at http://www.bakutoday.net/ check out the little "archive" button at the very top of the page--lot's of good stuff, including about the brand new Mig-29's the Azeri's are buying from Ukraine.

I went from watching the news all over the TV to reading all of them on the net.
I am addicted too. Is there a group we can attend for this?

Yes, a group therapy--we all sit at long tables with scissors and paste and make little paper hats out of--------------cut up newspapers!

Actually, I think hats look silly on middle aged men 
besides, we don't wear newspaper hats in Bosnia---we need the toilet paper.

You really may want to consider it anyway, tinfoil or not.
'Comb-overs' aren't really in style here..
