- From the “Whoopsie!” Department – Two U.S. Navy captains are at pucker factor 7 after a submarine and a destroyer collided off the east coast. The incident is under investigation, and both craft are moving under their own power. Thankfully, no-one was hurt in the accident. In other news, two slots for morale officers at the Antarctic research station have just opened up.
- From the “Call the A-Team” Department – The Canadian company that is fabricating the steel that is supposed to be used for the antenna on top of the new World Trade Center is refusing to provide it to the construction company in charge of the project. It seems that this kerfluffle is related to a dispute over payment for another project. My sources report that John Claude van Damm, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Joe Pesci have been placed on alert for “Expendables III: Men of Steel”.
- From the “Bad Things” Department – Hundreds of crocodiles escaped from a reptile farm in Vietnam the other day. Some of them ended up in the pond at a nearby elementary school, which probably went a long way toward keeping those darn kids out of the water. Only 72 of the reptiles have been recovered, but the company promises to find them all. They are currently using acoustic equipment to pick up the distinctive ticking sound a crocodile makes in the wild.
- From the “Silly Old Bear” Department – A honey company in Washington was recently raided, and the thieves made off with 100 pounds of honey. Authorities believe that the perpetrators were local bears, who are trying to fatten up before the lucky bastards start their winter hibernation. Seriously, I am jealous. Do you know how much I would give to eat until I’m fatter, then sleep until March?
