Good morning! Today is Tuesday, May 24, and the Lance Armstrong story just gets less riveting by the moment. Here are some links of note today:
The 89-year-old snake oil salesman who predicted the Rapture was going to happen last Saturday would like to revise his statement. The world is now definitely going to end October 21, says Harold Camping. (By the way, why do so many people confuse the Rapture with the end of the world? Bone up on your Bible, people!

Shave Magazine presents 29 truths to immeasurable success. You don’t have to agree with all of them (or even feel odd for wondering why 29 and not 30), but this suggestion rings the most true to me: Your success is determined by how you handle the bad.
