There’s a chance, albeit a slim one, that theditch the pennycrusademight be getting somewhere. The NDP’s Pat Martin introduced a private member’s bill yesterday calling foran end to the pennyin Canada for all the reasons I’ve been harping on, mainly that the things cost more to make than they’re actually worth and that people don’t …

Dude, Where’s Our Building?
This story sounds like it was written just for us. Not only is it heavy on irony, but the ridiculous theft element is also in full effect. The Austrian village of Traismauer has a crime problem. Solution? Build a new youth centre and use it to get local youngsters involved in productive and positive activities. …
When I Grow UP, I Want To Crush children’s Imaginations
If this column by Rosa Brooks is any indication, her kids will be in therapy before they reach their teens. Hopefully this article was mostly written as a joke, but somehow I doubt it. I have one question for this woman. If she doesn’t like Disney Princess stuff, why does she own their movies and …

Put Away Those Pliers
Well, it looks like The TSA has apologized for the way officers acted in the case of the nipple-ring at the airport. Holy shit. The government openly apologized for something they did wrong and are going to fix it! They’ve seen sense and realized that a visual inspection of the thing hanging from someone’s boob …

My God, He Was Serious!
Ok, the first weird thing about this story is the story itself. You know your principal has flipped his lid when he calls a meeting of science teachers and says “get those standardized test scores up or I will kill you all and then myself. You don’t know how ruthless I can be.” What’s double …
Ouch, My Nipples Hurt Thinking About That!
Note to anyone interested: Don’t go to Lubbock Airport if you have nipple rings. If you do, and they set off the metal detector, you have to remove them,even if it means using pliers to get them off. Shiver shiver shiver! What possible danger could a nipple ring pose? If they know it’s a nipple …

Here’s What I Think Of Your Stupid Water Bill.
I have learned several things from this article about a man trying to pay a water bill with a cheque written on toilet paper. They are: Don’t piss off Ron Borgna. If he doesn’t agree with you, he will fight to the end, and so he should. The town of Binghamton has a lot of …
