Outpost of the Odd

* The Knights Templar may be exonerated of heresy almost 700 years after they were wiped out by King Philip IV of France and dissolved by Pope Clement V. The Vatican will release a book based on a lost account of the Templars trial that reveals the order's heretical initiation ceremony "mimicked the humiliation that knights could suffer if they fell into the hands of the Saracens."

* The prize for the most unfortunate name for a teachers' union leader has to go to the chairman of the Ceylon Teachers' Union in Sri Lanka: Joseph Stalin Fernando.

* New York City is building low-cost housing for teachers - but many teachers will earn too much to live there.
