I’ve been wanting to do posts about interesting things I get in my Google Reader for awhile, but I’ve never actually sat down and done it. I wanted it to be a weekly thing, like every Friday or something. I’m a few days late, but here’s last weeks interesting reads.

Misreporting on Divorce – Freakonomics Blog
This one was interesting because I always believed the 50% divorce rate you hear about on TV. It’s sort of nice to know that the rates are actually going down, not up, and that they have been since the 70s. That still doesn’t give us any idea what the rate actually is, but at least we know it’s not getting out of control.

Wal-Mart: Brain-damaged former employee can keep money – CNN
There was apparently a huge debate over this. I only found out about it second-hand, but noticed this article when it popped up in my feeds. I’m glad that Wal-Mart decided to let the lawsuit go. We probably will question their motives, but the important thing is that they did the right thing.

Woman arrested on suspicion of stalking John Cusack – CNN
Poor guy. Looks really shell-shocked in the picture, too.

Protect your identity – Styledash
Not sure that these shades complete any look, but it’s an interesting idea at the very least.
