Five things worth knowing today

- The Venice Film Festival begins today with the world premiere of the Coens' Burn After Reading.
- 40,000 gather in Valencia for La Tomatina - The Discovery Channel's new NextWorld takes a look at the future of artificial intelligence. Are more hot bots to come?
- Today in 1896, the Anglo-Zanzibar War—the shortest war in world history—began and ended in 40 minutes, less time than it takes Spaniards to have a tomato fight.
- And today in 1961, Tom Ford was born. Celebrating in anything less than a four-figure suit would be an insult.
