Federal Employee Formally Reprimanded for Creating “Hostile Work Environment” Due to His Excessive Flatulence

 

Breaking Wind News!!! The headline pretty much sums it up, really. I find it interesting that the five page reprimand cited actual dates and times. Who rights these things down? My favorite line from the article:

“The man was also accused of launching a trio of attacks on September 11.”

Really? I thought that was Al-Qaeda…

Penguin or… something else?

 

Since neither myself nor my progeny or particularly crafty (at least in the artistic sense), I occasionally make sure we try something so in that vein so my minimal skills don’t completely atrophy.

So, yeah PENguin be came PEN… well, you don’t need me to spell it out any further.

US Government officially petitioned to build Death Star

 

A little while back we reported about the US investing a paltry $1.5 Million in the development of superior beef jerky (you can read that one, here). Now it looks like we’re finally getting serious crack at building a fully armed and operational battle station. Good article about it here… and sign the petition here. Since the government is all high on a stimulus two, this time around let’s support construction and military jobs. That’s something Democrats and Republicans can get behind (feels like they’re always getting behind the populous, if you know what I mean…).
