From stoning killer whales, to mine fires that won't die, to terminator seeds, birthers gone even more crazy, to Chuck Norris (need we say more?), to oil spills not in the gulf, to a problematic museum of tolerance and more, your sometimes intrepid hosts take a look back at some of their favourite (or important) news updates from the IRTN feature "below the fold." Plus Stephen gives us the numbers on the news we didn't miss.
