Tropical storm Zeta has formed in the Atlantic; not Catherine Zeta, just tropical storm Zeta. I guess Mother Nature doesn't care that hurricane season ended a month ago. She's obviously making up her own schedule.

Bye Bye Bun: It's been featured on The Late Show with David Letterman, world news shows, mentioned on Mad About You and The Nanny and now it's gone. The cinnamon bun that bore the likeness of Mother Teresa was stolen from the shop it had been kept in. The owner found it missing on Christmas morning; the bun had been preserved with shellac. The jar of money that was next to the bun was still there. Ok, either someone was really hungry or they wanted to feed it to the birds or just destroy it. The bun first gained attention back in 1996 and of course these days Jesus, Mother Teresa, God, Virgin Mary and other religious figures are seen in everything from toast to trees.
