Water Cooler
Here are a few things in news, sports, entertainment and pop culture that we've been talking about lately.
During a fundraiser, Sen. Harry Reid calls New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand the Senate's "hottest member." Like being the classiest member of the "Jersey Shore" cast: It's nice, but the bar has been set pretty low.
Leonard Skinner u25B6, the Florida high school teacher whose name was appropriated by the band Lynyrd Skynyrd, dies at 77. Pallbearers included Jethro Tull, Hootie, Duran Duran and Gnarls Barkley.
Ohio University mascot Rufus the Bobcat attacks Ohio State mascot Brutus Buckeye before OSU's 43-7 win over OU. But the University of California-Santa Cruz's Sammy the Banana Slug could've taken 'em both.
