Hey, what’s up world? It’s Therefore a.m.!

This morning we have some killer ukulele music from the Ukulele Project, a song called “Kalakaua Avenue” (which your co-host Jeff Clark can see from his window and which your co-host Curt Brandao can hear from his.)

Here’s the only scripted part of today’s show, the introduction:

Then, thank heavens, science is working on exercise in a pill, and is giving lazy mice six packs as we speak. Where do I sign up for human trials? Oh, that far? Is there a way to just sit at home and do it online?
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080731135918.htm

Plus, ever wonder why, in the English language, we capitalize the word “I” when referring to ourselves? Other languages don’t. No, never thought about it? Well, that kind of pompous of you, don’t you think?

Meanwhile, a scofflaw dog in India, named Chhotu, is on trial for an alleged series of bitings. Too bad he’s not in the U.S., where he could take the 5th, refusing to bark on the grounds that doing so might incriminate him.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7528199.stm

Plus, ever heard of Cuil? Well, it’s a search engine that was supposed to compete with Google, but it didn’t work out too well. We Googled it, and have all the details.

And finally, if you think all these fancy, schmancy, newfangled gadgets like the iPhone are ruining society, there are some policemen in New York who agree with you. Teen-on-teen Apple crime is apparently rampant in the Big Apple.

Plus, first some tracks were leaked online, and now a new Guns N’ Roses song is making its way to “Rock Band 2,” forcing fans further along the Easter Egg hunt trail for new music. Perhaps they should just put the album under random Diet Coke bottle tops?

And finally, just for kicks, a dog is banned from a jumping contest after winning it 3 times in a row, part of the canine union local 432nd’s “every dog has his day” policy.
