So how was your day, kids?

 

+Start of a new school year for area youngsters: Added mandatory hours of PE, college-style majors for high schoolers, post-winter break exams. Best years of your life, we promise. [Herald-Tribune]

+”‘This was our Super Bowl,’ Disney Channel Worldwide Entertainment president Gary Marsh told Variety.” [Mercury News]

+Can anthropology, biochemistry and the length of your ring finger help predict your online dating success? (Not as perverted as it sounds.) [Salon.com]

+Is he or isn’t he?  If Chicago real estate magnate Sam Zell et al. follow through with phase two of the Tribune buyout tomorrow, it could mean more massive debt for the paper.

+We can’t figure out what’s more awesome: 1) that Foxy Brown finally got called out for the “idiot” she is (and by a drugstore employee!), or 2) that the number of comments earned by Gawker’s post on the subject “passed the 2,500 mark” this morning. [Gawker]

+Giddyap! [sptimes]
