		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in a tweet, I worked with my son in realtime to pull data from the LEGO website. He wanted to see all the pieces counts for products. So we built this ruby script together to pull the data and parse it with Hpricot. Took about 10 minutes.

		<description><![CDATA[We now own over 300 children&#8217;s books. I&#8217;m sure that sounds like a lot (and it is), but we read between 10 and 15 books a day to our kids. 300 books is only about a month&#8217;s rotation worth of books. Lately I&#8217;ve realized there are some great lines (both funny and poignant) in these [...]]]></description>

These myths below have been circulating in the gorilla community for years. It&#8217;s time to debunk them.
Myth: Humans are bloodthirsty and violent.
Fact: Humans are more interested in money and commercial success. While not inherently bloodthirsty or violent, humans will use those tactics to achieve money and success.
Myth: Male humans [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article is a horrible example of journalism. It&#8217;s loaded with conclusions and no facts to back it up.
It starts off with:

Churches have long been considered safe havens from the evil of the outside world. No more.

But no where in the article, does it ever state whether there has been a marked increase in criminal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two things converged for me this week about newspaper leadership. First, I ran across a very old article about concerns of newspaper executives circa 1996. Next I read Byron Calame&#8217;s Public Editor column in the Sunday New York Times about what the Times&#8217; editors know about their readers.  The article about newspaper executive concerns [...]]]></description>

They became a smash hit TV series in the U.S. in the 1980s, but their latest TV incarnation is getting a mixed response. With the blessing of Peyo&#8217;s [the Smurfs' creator] family, UNICEF has produced a 25-second advertisement in which the Smurf village is bombed [...]]]></description>
