The first was virtually unreadable, I couldn't understand it.

The second, I think, is an April Fool. (check the bill).  ((it's ok, someonne else has - read the comments))

Even penguins know he is a psychopath.

How can anyone actually be called Newt?

How can anyone actually be called Newt?

I'm sure Ellen Ripley would take issue with that.

Japanese boy gets soccer ball back from Alaska

Japanese teenager Misaki Murakami (16) lost his soccer ball in the tsunami a year ago. Fortunately he had written his name on it. The ball got swept all the way to Alaska and was found by a radar technician who happened to be married to a Japanese woman who could read the writing.

Dull and Boring Twinning

The Scotish village of Dull and the Oregonian town of Boring have now officially become siter/twin cities.
As the speaker of Boring stated: 'We could send them strawberries and they could send Scoth whiskey in exchange'.

Suppose all town twininings had to make a well known phrase or quote :

Green light for Somerset virgin sacrifice

* for ye across the pond, Somerset is a county in the south west of England

I though it was a Summerisle tradition.

Coincidentally enough, *I* live in Summerset, New Werlde.

Keep us posted on any other quaint customs we should know about.

Now also a Harley Davidson ha made its way to Canada. Although not in top condition after its 5000 km journey, it will be brought home and repaired.

I found some very unlikely headlines today, some being sad, others being funny:-

Capsules Made With Dead Baby Flesh Seized By South Korea - Seriously, WTToadfish?

Zimbabwe 'Sperm Hunters' Acquitted Of Raping 17 Men - Say what? Fishy.

Coroner: U.K. spy found in sports bag likely killed
Gareth Williams Inquest: 'Highly Likely' Third Party Involved In MI6 Spy's Death, Police Say

The second two are full of the most obvious statements and, apart from the sadness surrounding a death, made me chuckle at the seriousness with which the quotes are being said.

Wait a second, spies die under mysterious circumstances?
