Cooperation?
"Blix said the Iraqis had handed over documents on "specific, high-profile unresolved issues" including anthrax, the chemical agent VX, and missiles. He said U.N. experts in New York would examine the documents Monday and Tuesday." (CNN)
Why wasn't this part of the massive dossier Iraq delivered in December to comply with Resolution 1441? This demonstrates that the US was right back then, when claiming these documents were held back. As it is now, Iraq only hands over documents piecemeal with a gun to their heads, and only specific documents when asked for them. It's as far from cooperation as you can get.

Staring at the Sun
Hira Ratan Manek claims to have discovered the ultimate diet: sunlight. By standing barefoot and looking at the sun every morning, he claims his body absorbs all the energy it needs, and he doesn't eat "solid foods" at all. His claim of course doesn't specify exactly what "liquid foods" he takes in.
The mechanical engineer from India claims gazing at the sun is all you need. No doctor has verified his claim, but he says he is ready to depart to the US, where "a team of doctors and scientists from the National Aeronautic and Space Administration" (huh?) will supervise a 130-day fast. Should be a piece of sunlight cake, considering he just finished a 411-day fast.

Requires sound.
