BILL NYE SOUNDS
CREATIONISM WARNING
Bill Nye the Science Guy wants parents who don’t believe in
evolution to stop passing their beliefs on to their children.
In a new video, called “Creationism Is Not Appropriate for
Children,” Nye posits that widespread belief in creationism is
holding back our country. “I say to the grownups, ‘If you want
to deny evolution and live in your world that’s completely
inconsistent with everything we’ve observed in the universe
that’s fine. But don’t make your kids do it,’” he said.

The school year got off to a tragic start at Baltimore
County’s Perry High School, where a student
opened fire in the cafeteria on the first day of
classes. One student was wounded before the
15-year-old suspect, Robert Gladden, was taken
into custody. Gladden’s father said that his son had
been bullied, and a Facebook page that has been
linked to the suspect was updated with: “First day
of school, last day of my life. t(~_~t), f--- the world.”
WOMAN GIVES BIRTH
TO GRANDSON
A Maine woman is such a devoted mom she
became a surrogate for her daughter, who
has a heart condition that makes pregnancy
unsafe. An embryo made from her daughter’s
egg and son-in-law’s sperm was successfully
implanted, and Linda Sirois, 49, gave birth to
her own grandson earlier this month. “It was
all pretty simple as far as I was concerned,”
Sirois told the Portland Press Herald. “I just
saw it as I was babysitting for a few months.”
