- Royal television: Prince Charles--along with his sons, Harrison Ford, the Dalai Lama, and Kermit the Frog--has turned to the internet to make a plea to save the rain forests. The 90-second video premiered simultaneously online and at the National Geographic store in London.
- Aside from wanting to save the rain forests, what else has the His Holiness the Dalai Lama been up to? WorldHum contributors Eric Weiner and Pico Iyer talked about the Dalai Lama's travel habits (in light of Pico's new book) at Sidwell Friends School (yes, where the Obama girls attend). The discussion was filmed by C-SPAN (check local listings).
- In the air, I thee wed: British airline Easyjet wants to allow its pilots to officiate in-flight wedding ceremonies.
- And since we're on a Dalai Lama/British kick today, the "best job in the world" has been filled... by a Brit, of course. A British charity worker was recently named the caretaker of Hamilton Island, located just off the Queensland coast. Over 35,000 people applied for the much-publicized job, which was part of a tourism campaign to promote Australia.
