  • Putin Accuses US of Orchestrating the War in Georgia

    Putin told the US that his defense officials informed him that the war in Georgia was orchestrated by the United States in order to help one of the presidential candidates to win the upcoming election. He failed to give any evidence for this accusation or even explain why he believes this. He said, "U...

  • Steve Jobs Obituary Accidentally Published

    It is reasonably common for a publication to write drafts of obituaries for famous people so they have a story ready in the event of their death. I can see where this could be a good thing... as long as it doesn't get published. The Bloomberg Financial Wire did just that this afternoon. They were...

  • Re: Tae Kwan Do Olympian Kicks Referee in the Face

    How could you dispute a call like that? I mean, a minute's a minute, and the clock doesn't lie--there's no room for subjectivity. Calling the judges racist for this call is like calling your professor racist because you failed a multiple choice test.

The rules allow only a minute timeout for injuries, so when he took too long Chakir Chelbat, the referee, disqualified him from his event. He angrily pushed another judge out of the way and ran for Chelbat...

  • Re: Bigfoot Discovered in Georgia

    Bigfoot's my hero, man! He's like a real big sloth except not. 'Course, he was discovered in backwoods Georgia. So he coulda just been someone's Great Uncle Cledis knocked off while he was havin' a beer in the woods. Inbreedin' does scary things, man!

  • Re: Bigfoot Discovered in Georgia

    I doubt anyone would invite scientists to study a hoax, so I'm guessing this has to be real. I can't wait to hear the results of the research!

  • Bigfoot Discovered in Georgia

    We have all heard so many hoaxes about the legendary Bigfoot that supposedly roams the wilds of Northern America and Canada. But this time we have solid evidence. Two men in Georgia found the body of a huge apelike creature that perfectly fits the description of the elusive Sasquatch. What makes this...

  • Russians Blinded in a Rave

    In Moscow, dozens of partygoers were blinded by the lasers in an outdoor rave. The event was originally intended to be held outdoors, but weather conditions forced them to put up a tent. The lasers, which should have been reflected up into the sky, bounced back off the roof and into the eyes of unsuspecting...
