Some of the riskiest online search terms: unscrambler, lyrics, myspace, free music downloads, phelps, game cheats, printable fill-in puzzles, free ringtones and solitaire. The study examined 2,600 popular keywords on five major search engines -- Google, Yahoo, Live, AOL and Ask -- and analyzed 413,000 Web pages.

The city of Metropolis, Illinois has a bigger than life statue of superman. But…a proposed statue of Lois Lane is about $70,000 dollars shy of the funding needed. The new kriptonite…the economy.

Since then, residents have fashioned a monument, a museum, and an annual festival around the superhero.

Greensboro man loses car keys, car and gym membership?
Don Prelich told police that his car was stolen while he was working out at Planet Fitness in Greensboro last weekend. Prelich said he put his car keys on a gym key holder while he was working out, that’s when someone came inside, took his keys and stole his vehicle. The 2005 Honda turned up days later, but Prelich's wallet and other valuables were missing. (He lost a digital camera at $250, a pair of binoculars at $300). Greensboro police said this is the second time in a month that Planet Fitness gym members became victims of the car key theft.
Planet Fitness owner Martin Sinozich said members leave keys hanging at their own risk. http://www.wxii12.com/news/19720520/detail.html
