• Secret schooling: NYC billionaire mayor Michael Bloomberg has been receiving foreign policy briefing sessions, teasing the media's suspicions of what still looks to be an outside stab at the presidency.
• Cold plunge: The cruise ship Explorer slams into an iceberg near the South Shetland Islands forcing more than 150 people to abandon the sinking vessel into Antarctic waters off the coast of Chile. All reports indicate there is no propeller guy.
• Cup of Joe: Barely relevant Democratic candidate Joe Biden takes advantage of the empty Thanksgiving political stage by serving up coffee at an Urbandale, Iowa, restaurant and discussing war policy with old people.
• Celebrity servings: Harrison Ford, Kirk Douglas, and even diabolical Hills star Spencer Pratt serve hot Thanksgiving meals to the homeless in L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa stops by to clean vagrants' feet.
