At a debate in Philadelphia last night, a group of British lawyers argued that the Declaration of Independence was illegal and treasonable.

Fertility doctors at Harvard and Murcia University have some unequivocally bad news for young men: they may have to choose between sweets and fertility.

The guy who killed Gadhafi was wearing a New York Yankees cap at the time. So for at least one Yankee fan, it turned out to be a pretty great October.

They said it was pretty brutal. Gadhafi was beaten, then shot in the head, then thrown in a meat locker. That doesn't sound like Libya; that sounds more like New Jersey.

A 54-year-old woman showed up in the emergency room unable to remember the past 24 hours.

Turns out she was experiencing transient global amnesia, a rare condition in which memory suddenly, temporarily, disappears after strenuous activity. 10/13/11 12:55pm ET
Let me tell you something: if you're getting amnesia after sex, you're too close to the headboard.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force will soon recommend that men not get screened for prostate cancer.

There's a chance they could cancel the whole year. Imagine a whole year without professional basketball. It's like being a Washington Wizards fan.
