It’s true. I can barely contain my excitement boredom over Chelsea Clinton’s upcoming nuptials. Here are five things that I find much more interesting than Chelsea’s surprise Vera Wang Trip or who’s on (or not on) the guest list:

The Politics of Mali

The Republic of Mali is a small African nation that borders Nigeria, Algeria and The Ivory Coast. Mali is divided into eight regions with each region having its own governor. The country has become pro-west in the years since they instituted a democratic system in 2002. This transition followed many years of political upheaval that had long threatened the stability of the country (on a side-note – Mali is landlocked and I ALWAYS find landlocked countries extremely interesting).

My Neighbors’ Work Schedule

I’ve been spying on my neighbors for about six months. I don’t suspect them of anything strange, I’m just bored. They both leave every morning at 7:15am. She returns for lunch around noon everyday except Thursday. He only comes home for lunch on Mondays.  They both arrive back home around 5:45pm except on Tuesdays when he gets home at 7:00pm. WHERE IS HE UNTIL 7 ON TUESDAYS?

The Whereabouts of my Peter Venkman Action Figure

From what I can recollect, I lost my Peter Venkman Ghostbusters toy around the time of my 9th birthday. I search for it every time I’m back at my parents’ house, but it’s nowhere to be found! I have a theory that my friend Jim Dibble stole it, but I can’t prove it. It’s depressing because I know exactly where my Egon, Ray, Winston and Stay-Puft figures are, but the set is not complete without Peter.

Pocket Lint

Where does it come from? And why?

David Morris, World Champion Whistler

David Morris is the world’s top whistler. He competes in whistling competitions around the world and has recorded three full length albums chock full of nothing but whistles. Don’t believe me? Take a listen here.

What about you? How much do you care (or not care) about Chelsea Clinton’s wedding? Tell us in the comments section below.

Let’s hope they’re getting marital advice from his side of the family. Chelsea Clinton has officially announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky. This officially makes him the most powerful groom in  the country.  The engagement announcement comes after most of the country thought they had secretly gotten married last summer. Ohhh, those tricky Clintons.

Hillary is making Bill take an oath to not give Marc any marriage advice.

Clinton, 29, met her soon-to-be husband in Washington DC and they both went on to attend Stanford University. She is now in grad school at Columbia studying political science. Not that they need any extra scratch, but Marc, 30, is an investment banker. They are planning a summer 2010 wedding.

Alright, we’re only going to ask this once. Who’s crashing this one with us?
