- The guy who owns the company that makes Segways died. They found him at the bottom of a cliff, in a river, WITH HIS SEGWAY!!!!! He very possibly drove his Segway off a cliff into a river and somehow this is not huge news. Or he just died of old-man-being while putting about on his Segway, but that's not as funny. And he's British, so you can imagine Benny Hill music playing as he rides his Segway down a cliff like the man from Snowy River, but without a very stupid horse or making my mother and sister drool.
Some sort of new cross country version, I think the reports said.
- On the other hand, Mormons are better informed about their relgious beliefs. I don't understand how anyone can call themselves a member of a religion and NOT know the important issues of their faith. Out of 32 questions about their own religions, Mormons, Jews & Atheists did better than Catholics, less than half of whom even understand the point of communion. That was one of the two crucial facts Homer Simpson wrote as clues on his hands when he dabbled in Catholicism in the Liam Neeson episode! I shudder to think how people did on the other such topic he noted (God = Good, Devil = Bad). And what's with Aetheism? What do you need to know about your religion that they were able to come up with 32 questions, that many people got wrong? How many ways could they phrase "Is there a god?" (answer: No) And who is to say whether or not they were wrong? What does the magisterium of the Church of Aetheism teach about the Valar, for instance?
You are showing the sort of inquiring mind that shows why atheists and agnostics out did those of faith - a small amount of interest and a little bit of typing would answer your question

I looked earlier but then I'm an atheist so I would have shown that curiosity

I also read recently that atheists and agnostics are more knowledgeable about theology in general.
