Ah, the Ferrari Testarossa... For many, THE car that defines the Ferrari label... Bright red... Great looks... So very fast... And so very expensive...

What's a girl to do...

Lauren Porter decided to knit one... True, most people associate knitting with blankets and sweaters, but Lauren knew she could do so much more! And so for her Graduate Exhibition at Bath Spa University, she knitted a full size Ferrari Testarossa! And it's complete down to the wipers on the windshield, side mirrors and the emblem on the hood... Requiring over 12 miles of yarn, 250 squares of garter stitch, and the help of 20 family members and friends, this was no weekend project... Plus, she had to weld together the metal frame that gives the car its classic shape...

Still, I bet she had a lot of fun showing it off when people come over to the house...

Those of us who get our thumbs tied in knots trying to punch a number in a cell phone can only stand in awe of 13-year-old Morgan Pozgar, who was recently crowned LG National Texting champion.

The teenager from Claysburg, Pa. won the crown after she typed "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (from the "Mary Poppins" tune) in 15 seconds.

Morgan defeated nearly 200 other competitors to become East Coast champion, then beat West Coast champion Eli Tirosh, 21. How did she get so proficient at typing in text? She estimated that she sends more than 8,000 text messages a month to her friends and family.

Asked how she planned to spend her $25,000 prize, she explained, "I'm going to go shopping and buy lots of clothes."

She might consider applying part of the winnings toward those text messaging bills as well.

Happy Fourth of July! And what better way to celebrate than to set off a few fireworks or wave a few sparklers... Unless you live in San Francisco... Then you need to read Peter Hartlaub's article in the San Francisco Chronicle...

Happy 231st birthday America! You don't look a day over 200...
