Can you tell the two Birminghams apart?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Those crazy Brits.
Once again, officials in Birmingham, England, have confused their city with its Southern namesake. In this instance, they handed out 720,000 leaflets that have a photo of Birmingham, Ala., rather than Birmingham, England. As this story details, the two cities have similarities — but their skylines are not one of them.
So what do you think? Innocent human oversight or is there some city envy going on here?

As Madonna turns 50, we stroll down memory lane
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The constantly evolving Madonna has done everything from singing and acting to writing and designing. Well, at least she’s tried to do everything.
Through many, many loves and losses, she has remained a pop superstar at heart. And while reading headlines about her and A Rod make it easy to forget sometimes, she has supplied her fair share of hits.
So what’s your favorite song by Madonna? Do you remember the wild ways of “Like a Virgin” or do you prefer the rebellious yet serious “Like a Prayer Days”?
Of course there are plenty out there who couldn’t care less … just remember it’s her birthday (Aug. 16) and we want to be nice.
