TODAY IS ALSO MAY 4, SO DON'T BE SURPRISED IF A STAR WARS FAN SAYS "MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU."
TOMORROW IS CINCO DE MAYO (THE FIFTH OF MAY).
Amongst events happening around the world this past week...
*While all is quite on the saber rattling front at the moment, North Korea has charged an American prisoner with "hostile acts against the regime" and charged him to 15 years at hard labor. The prisoner continues to maintain his innocence while the United States pleads for amnesty.
*With Queen Beatrix planning to step down, Prince Willem-Alexander has become King of the Netherlands.
*Civil unrest continues in Afghanistan and Syria.
FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
*Three friends of the surviving Boston Marathon bomber have been arrested on obstruction of justices charges trying to "protect their friend". There is no evidence at this time that they were actually involved in the despicable act.
*Despite their "victory" when Congress failed to enact stronger background checks, the National Rifle Association is saying the fight is far from over. Amongst recent statements defending their position include believing that Boston, Massachusetts was vulnerable to the Marathon Bombing because not enough citizens were armed, and that no member of the NRA will willingly give up their firearms unless they're deceased.
*Harvard scientists have unveiled "RoboBee", the smallest flying robotic creature (to date) with a wingspan of a mere inch and a half/3 centimeters.
*The Herschel Space Observatory has shut down after running out of liquid helium coolant.
*Rhode Island has become the tenth member of the United States to make same gender marriages legal.
*"Orb" the horse has won the Kentucky Derby, the first leg of horse racing's annual Triple Crown contest.
