Starbucks has opened their first coffee shop in India.  Among the new menu entries expected to capture hearts and minds:  the Mahatma Mumbai Mocha, the Calcutta Curry De-calf, and the Ganges Gandhi Grande.

Pope Benedict XVI told the Vatican newspaper L’Observatore Romano that China must cease their human rights violations.  The message was delivered by his Chinese houseboy. Monsignor Kato.

Oprah Winfrey recently revealed that she has a half-sister who has made no effort to capitalize on her relationship financially.  Which itself raises the question:  How could she possibly be related to Oprah?
