<p>• The<em> New York Times</em> advises us to approach the Thanksgiving meal &#8220;the way a CEO might.&#8221; Uhh, <a href="http://clusterstock.alleyinsider.com/2008/11/dick-fuld-cult-leader-who-lived-in-unreal-world" target="_blank">not even sure where to start</a> on that one.</p>
<p>• Some good news this holiday: Cancer diagnoses are <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/25/AR2008112501510.html?hpid=moreheadlines" target="_blank">on the decline</a>.</p>
<p>• The newest in medical technology: A <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news146842083.html" target="_blank">barcode chip that tests your blood</a> for disease.</p>
<p>• The latest in climate change research: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/25/climate-concerns-treadmil_n_146359.html" target="_blank">A shrimp on a treadmill</a>. Seriously.</p>
<p>• You know it&#8217;s bad out there when gaming companies are <a href="http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/11/recession-proof.html" target="_blank">seeing their stock take a hit</a>.</p>
<p>• And to top it off, the financial crisis <a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/11/google-to-significantly-reduce-contractors-still-goog-" target="_blank">hits Google</a>. It&#8217;s official: No one is immune.</p>
<p>• Sketchy study <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20081124/sc_livescience/peoplesaidtobelieveinaliensandghostsmorethangod;_ylt=AvccbZGCUc0Yvb70HFXsfR2s0NUE" target="_blank">finds that more people believe in aliens</a> and ghosts than God. Or perhaps they just think God is an alien?</p>
<p>• And here&#8217;s a fun idea in the obesity era: <a href="http://calorielab.com/news/2008/11/26/thanksgiving-lawsuit-waiver-healthy-eating/" target="_blank">health waivers for Thanksgiving dinner guests</a>. More casserole, anyone?</p>
