Heath Ledger wants to be a cannonmaker

Despite rumors to the contrary, Australian actor Heath Ledger does not spend his Sundays creating weapons of destruction. “That’s one of my favorite hobbies — getting my friends together and building cannons,” he said. And after a brief pause: “I’ve never heard of that … I guess some people build cannons.” However, there are plenty [...]

Support for U.S. growing

The United States may be closer to taking action against Iraq after a Middle East country offered its support Sunday.
