Thats it, when my squirell monkey gets up this afternoon, we're gonna have a sit-down about his party habits. His spelling is already deteriorating.

Hey Jag,

My point is a little humour. I'm not arguing a point.

The link is to the article in The Straits Times. Ha Ha. Sorry you missed the humour of two posts in a row in this thread.

Isn't it funny how the news shows always show the exact same shot of Saddam firing his shotgun from a balcony?

Am I to draw the conclusion that the man walks around with a shotgun 24/7? Is this some sort of nightly ritual? "Hey, it's 10 o'clock. Time to fire off a shell from the balcony."

How about more clips of him kicking back, smoking a cig, and drinking scotch?

CIA's evidence of Iraqi threat lacks 'smoking gun'

Sign of the Apocalypse, No. 483

It says something about our society when a headline on cnn.com -- C-N-f'n-N -- reads:

<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/11/22/offbeat.laptop.burn.reut/index.html">Scientist burns penis with hot laptop</a>

The headline is more amusing than the article, but:

<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/Midwest/12/03/raccoon.head.ap/index.html">Band director accused of mailing raccoon head</a>

Death row inmate found dead
I like the fact that they gave him CPR. Good one.
