Some randomness

Cool:
Ruins of the parliament in Patara, considered the world's first elected government. Its semicircle of seats became a model for the Capitol.
A Congress, Buried in Turkey's Sand:
PATARA, Turkey - Alexander the Great was here, and so was Saint Paul, on his way to Ephesus.

Centuries later, the drafters of the American Constitution took the ancient Lycian League, which was based here, as an early example - in fact, it was history's earliest example - of the form of republican government they envisaged as well.

Gross: McDonald's cheese is made of plastic.

Unlikely to last: T.O. getting married? Does the woman have ANY self respect?
