Weekend miscellany:

- German authorities are preparing for next year's World Cup sex spike with special john huts.

- The guy who's written pretty much all the fortune cookie text in the last 20 years isn't a poet or pop philosopher, he just had good English.

- You'd think with over 7000 employees, there's gotta be a teller working at the World Bank.

- Here's yet another study that found the rise in medical malpractice insurance isn't due to bigger tort judgments (it's really the insurance companies' own fault).

- So you want to learn Arabic? Be prepared for a joyless 80 weeks, full-time. If you have the gumption for it.
