Dog Bites Shark. If sharks could read, they would know it is not a good idea to attack an Australian dog. At least, not when there's another Australian dog ready to dive in and attack. It seems a man was walking with his dogs along a beach when a shark attacked and dragged one of the dogs under the water.
The second dog, seeing the attack from the beach, came running into the water and attacked the shark. Both dogs emerged from the surf unharmed. See the story here. No word on the shark's condition.
Speed Saves. This is hardly definitive, although I have seen similar reports, but raising the speed limits along certain Norwegian highways has resulted in fewer accidents.
"We think drivers drive better and more steadily at limits they themselves are more satisfied with," Finn Harald Amundsen of the state highway department told newspaper Aftenposten.

Dick Tracy. Yes, it's a watch with a built in cell phone and a 96 X 64 pixel 256 color screen. Electronics giant Samsung announced the watch at CEBIT 2003. See it here. Not to be out-done, Seiko also announced their own wrist-based cell phone. See it here.
