They said it couldn’t be done. Mixing Tetris and arm wrestling… not possible. But just like Stallone in “Over the Top,” the impossible happened, dreams came true, tears were shed. I give you Tresling: Not just a two-player version of best game on earth, not just a fist-pumping, back ally arm wrestling match to end all matches… but a mash-up so heroic Zeus himself could not imagine it.
Come friends, its time to join the revolution.

A group of 127 Notre Dame students broke the record for the World’s Longest Spoon Train in the middle of South Quad Thursday afternoon.
Junior Charlie Mahoney originally proposed the idea to his friends as a joke, but the scheme slowly gained credence until finally he and fellow ski team member Joel Sharbrough decided to make the biggest spoon train ever.
“We obviously loved spooning in the first place, so we just thought why don’t we be the best spooners we can be? And it just spiraled into something huge,” event coordinator Sharbrough said.
As ski team spoon co-captain with Kerry McGuire, he planned and advanced the idea for the event.
Spooning occurs when two people lay on their sides facing the same direction so that they fit snugly together.
“It’s not immoral at all,” ski team junior Katie Rehberger said. “It’s a way to unite the campus.”
CAPITOL HILL (AP)- The 19th annual U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon has started in a cold drizzle.
The public reading began Sunday evening and is continuing non-stop, day and night, until the final “Amen” of Revelation is read aloud this Thursday – the National Day of Prayer.
The Marathon’s co-director, the Reverend Michael Hall, says the readers’ only shelter is an umbrella, but bad weather has never stopped them before.
He says every time slot is filled, with 18 members of Congress among the volunteer readers.
Passers-by typically watch briefly out of curiosity or ignore the Bible reading altogether, but Hall prays God will use it to change lives and call the nation to repentance.
Rocky Twyman has a radical solution for surging gasoline prices: prayer.
Twyman – a community organizer, church choir director and public relations consultant from the Washington, D.C., suburbs – staged a pray-in at a San Francisco Chevron station on Friday, asking God for cheaper gas. He did the same thing in the nation’s Capitol on Wednesday, with volunteers from a soup kitchen joining in. Today he will lead members of an Oakland church in prayer.
Yes, it’s come to that.
“God is the only one we can turn to at this point,” said Twyman, 59. “Our leaders don’t seem to be able to do anything about it. The prices keep soaring and soaring.”
