5 Things You Need to Know Today: Aug. 27

[Your Song of the Day]

1. Your weather report: Today will be mostly cloudy with a high of 85 degrees. Tonight should be partly cloudy with an overnight low of 66 degrees. Scattered thunderstorms will probably move into the area tomorrow.

2. Obama vs. Romney....FIGHT! iDevice owners can hit Romney in the face with a rubber chicken, or smack Obama with a microphone in Vote!!! The Game. The creators of the popular Infinity Blade series created this gem to encourage people to register their vote, while having fun beating the tar out of a presidential candidate.

3. Patch Fact: Though the Hope Diamond is more famous, the Cullinan is the largest diamond ever found. Unearthed in South Africa in 1905, this 3,100-carat monster was cut into several stones that are still part of the British Crown Jewels.

4. School registration! Students and parents in SAU #39 should be on their way to register today. Registration at each of the schools will take place from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

5. More movies. If you are a Netflix user like me, you should know that they will soon be adding a good amount of indie films to their library. Grab the popcorn.
