Much Ado About Nothing Tweets of the Day 7/8/12

And aren't we glad this is much ado about nothing?

And probably more social, less bored, and safe. 

Man, the whole family's chillaxin'.

2.  Babies in dog-owning families may be healthier

3.  More public schools splitting up boys, girls

If there are no boys in class, the girls are more likely to wear their glasses.

Just adolescents?

4.  Adolescent Angst: 5 Facts About the Teen Brain

Relaxing--that's where the new ideas come from.
