If you know what a brown paper bag is, you know the deal. You've done everything a rational person could do to protect the mid-day nourishment, and then, some lunkhead co-worker manages to inadvertently sit on your lunch - one hidden away in a "no one could ever sit there" spot.

News Map: Hey, it worked for the weather, why not the news? A flat panel view of the world populated by stories from the world's major English-language newspapers. And once you start sampling during a long weekend without football playoffs, you're certain to get an eyeful. So look out for the eye strain:
