Kid helped grease safe return of Apollo 11
As Apollo 11 hurtled back towards Earth, there was a problem -- a problem only a kid could solve. It sounds like something out of a movie, but that's what it came down to after NASA landed on the moon in 1969. Now, that 10-year-old shares his story.

To Quell Criticism, Some Doctors Require Patients to Sign 'Gag Orders'

Apple’s stoner phone sparks up with Cannabis app

YOU’VE heard of stoner films. You’ve listened to stoner rock. Now â€" woah, dude â€" check out this stoner phone.

The iPhone is becoming an all-in-one device for every gadget-loving weed fiend. Not only can it be used to order pizza, play games, and stare at YouTube â€" the squeaky-clean Apple machine will soon get an app that hooks users up with pot dealers.

Strangely enough, the app is named “Cannabis” â€" handy for all those cloudy-headed users who can’t remember what it was they smoked just then.

Apparently potheads don’t call dealers any more â€" that’s so 1999. These days, it’s all about geolocation for the friends of Mary Jane.

You open the app, search by city, and it will show you the nearest supplier of medical marijuana.

Yep â€" medical. The app must be legit to get through Apple’s tricky terms and conditions, so it only shows medical suppliers for 13 US states and “coffee shops” in Europe.

It’s made by Cannabis Apps, a “software development and digital activist team focused on cultivating the most sticky, tasty, and potently useful iPhone applications for the cannabis industry and movement,” according to their website.

The app will get cannabis-related news and reviews soon, but until then, (medically) stoned geeks will have to settle for old copies of High Times while they play Halo and listen to Queens of the Stone Age.

Dude… wait â€" what?

NBI don’t condone drug use. But I really liked Dude, Where’s My Car?
