1962, the United States launched the Mariner 2 space probe, which flew past Venus the following December, where native lifeforms transmitted to us the technology to make tripple edged lady razors.

NEWS!!
This is from foxnews.com - A California woman says she endured an embarrassing standoff with Transportation Safety Administration officials over her bra before a flight to visit her mother in Boston.Nancy Kates, who wore a large under wire bra, told the San Francisco Chronicle the security check by a female TSA agent before JetBlue flight 472 at Oakland International Airport was too invasive. The agent's supervisor later told Kates that she could choose between a pat-down in a private room or not flying. Kates offered a third alternative — to take off her bra and try again — which TSA agents accepted. You know what? It pisses me off that she is even upset over this. It's been too long since the New York and Pentagon attacks to NOT know what's going on at our airports. If you are going to fly, for Christ's sake dress in a way that will make the whole process easier on you and your fellow travelers. Don't wear a god damn circus tent of a bra with a re bar under wire...you're gonna get a hard time. And you deserve it.
This is interesting, a new diesel land speed record has been set: 328 mph. Andy Green broke the supercharged diesel streamliner world record by more than 90 mph by reaching an average land speed Tuesday of 328.767 mph. The old record was 235.756 mph, set by Virgil Snyder on the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1973.
Finally...and this is some REALLY cool shit. European scientists are attempting to recreate the "Big Bang", or the event that apparently triggered the beginning of the universe as we know it. The plan is to send two clusters of particles around a huge tube at the speed of light in different directions, forcing them to collide. [SOUND] What are they looking for? An elusive particle that creates life. The way I see it, two things can happen. First - the instant the two clusters collide, the universe ceases to exist..cool stuff but no one would be around to appreciate just how cool that would be. Second - a portal to another dimension might be ripped open like the one in Stephen King's "The Mist", letting in hoards of horrific giant monsters that spell the end of humanity. I personally hope the second option is the one that happens. Sure, it would suck pretty bad to have a giant spider use my body as a feeding mass for it's billions of babies...but you gotta admit..pretty exciting.
