"WATERTOWN, Wis. - With America at war and in need of a few good men, Jon Schoenherr expected a warm reception when he walked into an Army recruiting office in this Midwestern farm community, intending to enlist. But a sergeant gave the 17-year-old some surprising news. "He told me I'd have to lose a little bit of weight,' said Schoenherr, who dropped 50 pounds to qualify. Besides terrorists, germ warfare and nuclear weapons, military officials increasingly worry about a different kind of threat - troops too fat to fight"

Lindsay Lohan Shopping

Lindsay Lohan shopping in LA: Oftentimes it's not what's on the racks in the store, but whose racks are in the store. Nothing sells the contents of a store better than someone buying its contents. The semiotics of fashion sales involves the following equation: Princess + mad search through store + a hundred maids in waiting + a thousand court photographers + credit cards + the desire to be where you're not + a stage upon which to be where you're not = Visibility (Sales). Paparazzi took this photo from just outside the store and offered it up on a hundred websites; the "browser" as Store Front Window.

Coffee Shop: Amsterdam

"While it's legal to smoke weed here in Amsterdam, it's only done in coffee shops. The term coffee shop is used loosely here, because I don't remember seeing anyone drinking coffee. You go in, pick out which one you want, light up and get high. It's actually illegal to do it out in the public," according to Sean's blog.

Amsterdam Sex Museum

Amsterdam Sex Museum...Is worth a visit, writes Michael Tyler in his "damm blog."

"In case you can't find any filth or are too shy, you can visit the more reputable, high street face of sex, the sex museum located on Dammstrav about 200 yards away from central station. The museum consists of many bits and pieces, sure to entertain and amuse, like a history of fucking, how it came about and how we can make money out of it."
