Random information I gleamed from the US media this week

> An average American buys 1 piece of clothing every 5-1/2 days (NY Times, September 6th)

> A boil is like a giant zit that, when popped, oozes out stinky pus (Youtube - currently making the rounds on the web, of two girls popping one on a friend(!)'s shoulder)

> You get tenured into the NYC education system after only three years of teaching - with only 3 percent failing to be tenured (the New Yorker, August 31st)

> Little Italy is now locally coined "Little Chitaly" - makes perfect sense to me! (the New York Mag)
