Two German professors who were testing EU product labeling laws requested what they thought was an uncontroversial statement: "regular consumption of significant amounts of water can reduce the risk of development of dehydration." In February, the European Food Standards Authority rejected the request. "We fear there is something wrong in the state of Europe," said professor Andreas Hahn of the Institute for Food Science and Human Nutrition.

Workers at the Pliant Corp. plastics plant wore stickers counting the number of days without accidents. As it approached 666, devout Christian Billy E. Hyatt told a manager that wearing 666 would be forcing him "to accept the mark of the beast and to be condemned to hell."

"I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm not going to be able to do your cake," baker Victoria Childress of Victoria's Cake Cottage told the couple. "I'm a Christian, and I do have convictions." Vodraska and Sievers released a statement: "Awareness of equality was our only goal in bringing this to light, it is not about cake or someone's right to refuse service to a customer. We are grateful for the outpouring of support we have received and hope that by stepping forward we have prevented someone else from experiencing the same type of bigotry."

It's not about Barack Obama. It's not about Joe Biden.
