News comments:
So the UK has the coldest ever December for 100 years (dailymail). This pattern is being repeated all over the world and all those conveniently correlated global warming statistics are looking more pathetic than ever before.

I mean we have been on the planet for 250,000 years as humans. We have verified temperature statistics for about 100 years. So how we can extrapolate from this small statistical sample we are being warmed up? It wasn't that long ago when Wine was produced in Scotland and the river Thames was used for Holiday on Ice? I like the new theories that we are third generation human and the others disappeared without trace. But that is dull.

Here are some new theories:

Today's shorts:
Bobby Diamonds teeth color is correlated to the number of unemployed FSA staff Theory (bloomberg)
Ireland to be turned into a large sheep field by 2012 Theory (reuters)
Santander is a really safe bank Theory (telegraph)

Print Money and the S&P Goes Up Theory (bloomberg)
