Round-up of suspicious stories

Someone has put something in the water today. News organizations seem to have made some surprising discoveries today:

• American Public Media's Marketplace reports that the French government has started measuring ennui in addition to GDP.
• The Economist published a chart this morning showing, among other things, China has overtaken the US in brisket rubbing. One hopes it wasn't a dry rub.
• Google has introduced a new interface for GMail based on body motion.
• Donald Trump appears to have jumped on the birther wagon.

Oh, wait—that last one is real. It's still a foolish story.

I'll post more throughout the day as I discover them.
