A satirical look at current events!
Woman in Iconic WWII Times Square Kiss Dies at 92: Greta Zimmer Friedman, the woman kissed by an ecstatic sailor in Times Square celebrating the end of World War II, has died at the age of 92.

Dubai Police Adds Lamborghini Aventador To Its Fleet: In a move that is reportedly designed to show how classy Dubai is, the local police force has added a $550,000 Lamborghini to its patrol car fleet. Wow, cops in Lamborghinis? That’s gotta impress the crowd over at the doughnut shop. On the other hand, I feel sorry for the average motorist. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to bribe a cop who’s driving a Lamborghini?

Five Second Food-on-Floor Rule Debunked: Researchers at Rutgers University say they’ve disproven the popular “five-second rule” that many of us use to justify eating food that has fallen on the floor - the notion that its OK to eat something as long as its only been on the floor for less than five seconds. Personally, I’ve relied on the “five-second rule,” but only because I’ve never owned a very accurate stopwatch.

God Wouldn’t Change Weather for Couple’s Wedding Day: A wedding planner says she warned a bride and groom to rent a tent on their wedding day because rain was forecast, but the couple refused saying that they had prayed to Jesus for clear skies and Jesus would never let it rain on their Christian wedding. To be completely honest here, I feel partly responsible in that I live in the area and had also been praying hard that a “spontaneous wet tee-shirt contest” would occur on that very same day. On a positive note, at least the server didn’t need to ask the guests if they wanted water along with their dinner entrees. All I can say is “isn’t it ironic?” But then again, I’m sure a good DJ would’ve already have some Alanis Morissette queued up at first sight of any storm clouds.
Pop Group Kansas Moves Offices to California: Management for the popular 70’s soft pop group Kansas announced they’ll soon be moving the group’s business offices to California. When asked to comment, members of the band would only say “well, I guess we’re not in Kansas anymore.”
Some Physicists Say Universe is in a Bubble: British physicists say they’re now very close to having the ability to test a theory that claims our universe is contained inside a giant bubble, just one of multiple bubble universes in a "multiverse.” Scientists plan to use caution during testing, because they don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble.
Exercise Can Cancel Out Health Risks From Drinking: A new study found that exercising the recommended amount can "cancel out" the higher risk of death associated with drinking alcohol. I can see it now, “I’d love to stay around for another drink my friend, but I’ve gotta catch last call at 24-Hour Fitness. Wonder what a fitness program for drunks would look like anyway? Personally, “toilet bowel head raises" are among my favorites.
Kansas City Man Robs Bank to Escape From Wife: Authorities say a Kansas City man robbed a bank and then just sat down and waited for police to arrive and arrest him in order to escape life with his wife. Why that’s just crazy! Doesn’t he realize “there must be 50 ways to leave your lover?”
