fact of the day
Before becoming a traitor, Benedict Arnold distinguished himself as an aggressive general with the Continental Army. In 1777 he helped lead the army to victory against the British in the crucial Battle of Saratoga, which resulted in the French entering the war on the side of the Americans. Arnold disagreed with the alliance and switched sides in 1780.

ODD NEWS Millions of snails found, compared to size of hand
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — A breed of giant, ravenous snails that first appeared in Barbados five years ago is destroying crops and prompting calls for the government to eliminate the slimy pests.
A nocturnal "snail hunt"recently found millions of giant African snails swarming the central parish of St. George, the country's agricultural heartland.Farmers had
complained of damage to crops including sugar cane and potatoes
"We saw snails riding on each other's backs and moving in clusters," said David Walmond, chairman of the local emergency response office that organized the nocturnal hunt. "In some cases we saw areas of 20 to 30 square feet with hundreds of thousands of snails."
The Barbados Agricultural Society said the count revealed the scale of the problem for the first time and urged the government to set up a task force to eradicate the
snail population.
The snails, which are about the size of a human hand, are known to consume as many as 500 different plants, and their mucous can transmit meningitis and other diseases.

NEW YORK — A woman who said she fell off a slippery bar and injured herself while dancing in a "Shake-It-Like-Shakira" contest is suing the Manhattan saloon that sponsored the competition.
Megan Zacher, 22, of Delanco N.J., fell at Callo Jack's Cantina on July 8, her lawyer, Lawrence Simon, said Tuesday. He said the fall caused a torn knee ligament that required surgery.
Simon said Zacher and two friends were celebrating a birthday. She had been at the crowded establishment about an hour, was working on her second drink and was dancing on the bar, vying for the $250 prize, when she fell, he said.

what do you think? HOW HAPPY ARE YOU WITH THE RESULTS OF TUESDAY'S ELECTION?
"I'm happy because I'm a proponent of gridlock. I think division will lead to more debate, as opposed to policies going through unchallenged."
BY MATT ERICKSON
Issac Akande, Wichita junior
Brad Klamm,Independence,
Kan.,freshman
"I'm fairly happy. I'd like to think that a lot of the people in power now are the ones that I would like to see behind the wheel. I think we're showing the candidates that mudsling doesn't work anymore. We're voting by the issues."
Polly Bilski, Prairie Village senior
"Pretty happy. Democrats now have the house. Still have my fingers crossed for the Senate."
EVAN GOLDEN, Minneapolis junior "I'm just happy that the House is more Democratic than Republican."
Sara Shannon, Ottawa sophomore
"Really effing happy. I think the weather is a sign that God is happy with Kansas' decisions."
