A satirical look at current events!
Woman Wears Colander for Driver’s License Photo: A Utah woman says she encountered only brief resistance when she recently had her driver’s license photo taken while wearing a colander on her head as a mock religious statement.

Its a nice hat and all, but you’d think for that kind of money, at least they could include a little propellor on the top.
Charles Manson Granted Marriage License: A spokesperson for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says mass murderer Charles Manson has been granted a marriage license, and would be allowed to wed in prison. Of course this isn’t the first time that Charlie’s tied the knot - its just that all the other times, it was around someone’s neck.
