It's your daily buzz boost.
- Melissa George (+3,795%). The "Grey's Anatomy" star is leaving the show. She says it was her decision to leave, and she does so on good terms.
- Feral cats (+1,365%). Don't mess with the balance of nature. That's the moral of this catastrophic cat tale: A well-intentioned attempt to remove the wild cats from an Australian island to save the birds allowed the rabbit population to explode, destroying the vegetation that, you guessed it, the birds need.
- Bill Gates house (+148%). The Microsoft founder is inviting you into his crib — virtually, that is.
- Healthy snacks recipes (+461%). Sugar cookies are out. Carrot sticks are in.
- Obama limo (+173%). Obama may be coming into town by train, but he's taking his first ride to the inauguration in the custom Cadillac built for him. It's reportedly part-car, part-tank.
