Screams kill chickens
A four-year-old's screams killed hundreds of chickens, according to a court in the eastern China province of Jiangsu. Frightened by a dog, the little boy apparently cried loudly near the hen house window for quite a while. From Metro.co.uk:
A court ruled the boy's screaming was "the only unexpected abnormal sound" and that the 443 chickens trampled each other to death in fear.
The boy's father was ordered to pay around £117 in compensation to the owner of the chickens. - boingboing.com

Players will have the EDGE in 2006-07
The NHL and Reebok are partnering to create a technologically advanced uniform system that is designed to meet the demands of NHL players.
The Rbk EDGE Uniform System will debut at the 2007 NHL All-Star SuperSkills and All-Star Game (Jan. 23 and 24, 8 p.m. ET, Versus, CBC, RDS, NHL Radio) and be worn by all NHL players, beginning with the start of the 2007-08 NHL season in October.
Player input has been important in the development of the Rbk Edge Uniform Systems. Sidney Crosby, who endorses Reebok equipment, made several suggestions which were incorporated in the design, as did officials from the NHLPA.
"I used the pants all summer," Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby said. "I'm pretty picky about my equipment, so I'm probably a good one to test it on. The jersey is a lot lighter and tighter, but it moves with you. Hey, it's a new era for the NHL, it may as well be for the uniform too." - nhl.com
You can also check out the new Rebock site for the new uniforms. I just got a Nashville Predators Jersey for Christmas so it figures they would change everything now. Still not sure how I feel about the new uniforms but anything that helps them throw better punches right...
