Slate supports Pasty news, and more

I tend to scour Slate every couple of weeks, and it's kind of nice to get on there to find a wide array of exciting news, as opposed to checking it every 15 minutes to see whatever is new, like I used to do when I was working and staring at my computer for at least 6 hours a day (sound familiar to anyone?). So, in that vein, here are a couple of stories from our friends over at this fine voice for online news that align with some of the news we've presented in the last couple of days, probably more eloquently put than what we have here:

- In context with the Sudan teddy bear situation, the "Explainer" column clarifies proper etiquette when naming your child after a holy figure, such as Jesus or Mohammed.

- Further, the site's "Sports Nut" feature discusses why there probably shouldn't be a BCS National Championship Game this year, because, in his reasoning (and as an LSU fan, to boot) is that every team already has proven they are NOT the best team.


- Finally, in other, not related to Pasty Quail, Slate news:

The Diaries of Facebook’s founder have been released. Turns out he's a pretty big asshole.

Maybe some of you are not terribly into reading about this guy’s personality, but in the true Facebook spirit, here it is, out there for the world to see.
