Catholic school fires unmarried teacher for being pregnant, is sued because a man in the same situation wouldn't be fired.

Amusingly, they're firing her for *not* getting an abortion.

Also,
The perils of imbeciles with business degrees becoming school administrators: New Hampshire high school put into "lockdown" after a student breaks a slide containing preserved, dead anthrax that's over a quarter century old.

Also,
US decides to stop collecting illegal import tariffs, only three years after being ruled against in every possible court. No word yet on paying back the five billion stolen dollars.

Also,
Looting, sexual assault, and other behaviour confirmed in the Katrina aftermath - coming from the Nashville Urban Search And Rescue team, not the natives.

Also,
Llamas are almost as dangerous as moose: Llamas have three sets of razor-sharp "fighting teeth," which llamas use to rip the scrotum from male competitors in the wild.

Also,
American convicted of plotting Bush's assassination, based on a confession extracted by Saudi police in Saudi Arabia.
(Oh, and he's a "terrorist", just like John Wilkes Booth or Lee Harvey Oswald. What? They're not terrorists? Well, this guy has brown skin, so he's a terrorist. So there.)

Putting the school in lockdown may be overreacting, but anthrax from a quarter century old isn't necessarily dead. The stuff can persist in soil for a century or more. The question is if it was dead when it went in, and, really, how likely are you to know that about a test slide 25 years old? Unless you, say, put it under the microscope.

They train guard llamas. For guarding herd of cattle or sheep from wolves. Or the occasional really hungry bear.

My mum wants them for when she gets a farm.

Guard llamas. I still can't help but laugh.
