The pen may be mightier then the sword, but it apparently is not mightier then the computer keyboard, reports the Washington Post. The newspaper reports that when handwritten essays were introduced on the 2006 SAT exams, less then 15 percent of the 1. 5 million students wrote their answers in cursive.

Police said that a baby-sitter botched her first day on the job, when she accompanied home the wrong 5-year-old from elementary school. Sgt. David Cannan said that the woman escorted Angel Guerrero from school without checking out what the child she was going to take care of looked like. When Angel's grandmother came to pick-up the boy, she was told that someone already did. The police issued a missing child alert for the boy with his name and photograph on several TV channels.
