Check out the full gallery to see the rest of the guys (note: they aren't all nude like Lance Armstrong above!)

Methamphetamines Pollute More than the Body, which looks at the way methamphetamine production pollutes land and the buildings it is cooked within, was a top story and popular on Digg.com. Aside from how easy it apparently is to make meth, what's really shocking about the drug is how much damage it does to the environment.

Because of the shortage, squirrels and other animals will potentially starve, however, there is an over-abundance of acorns in other states, so experts are unsure whether this is a result of climate change or just a normal cycle.

And one of our final top stories of the week was Ecofont Takes The Swiss Cheese Approach to Saving Printer Ink, which looked at a new font that supposedly saves 20% of printer ink due to tiny holes in each character. To see how the end result looks under magnification, take a look at the post.
