Topical Chat, April 30, 2007

Last day in April … Let Spring Reign!

1. On U.S. President George W. Bush taking fresh aim at Cuba's communist government, calling it a "cruel dictatorship" and predicting that democratic change was near:
“Good to see things are all taken care of in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea …”

2. On schools across the country targeting digital media players as a potential cheating device:
“Man, when I was in school, we had to write the answers on the palms of our hands!”
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070427/ap_on_hi_te/ipod_cheating;_ylt=Aq34TJhZspQqk_QA8GtNVnbMWM0F

3. On Mars being hit by rapid climate change - and it is happening so fast that the red planet could lose its southern ice cap:
“They really need to cut back on fossil fuel consumption.”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1720024.ece

4. On the death of an ambulance driver because of a heart-attack:
“Oh, the irony!”

5. On a Christian tattoo shop that will not tattoo anything that glorifies sin, such as marijuania leaves, naked ladies or peace symbols:
“As Bill Hicks once said, ‘You are free to do as we tell you!’”
http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070428/NEWS06/704280322/1001

6. On Hershey toying with the idea to discontinue using chocolate in its candy bars:
“Is this even legal???? Somebody HAS to stop this trend!”
http://www.philly.com/philly/business/homepage/20070428_Hersheys_mockolate_move.html

7. On an English study that “reveals” that unisex lavatories - with blurred glass walls - could help in the battle against school bullies:
“No word yet on whether or not it would increase the pregnancy rate.”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6591105.stm

8. On authorities in Tucson, evacuating residents after they found a rental truck filled with rotting fish, cow parts and pig organs:
“What the heck was Rosie O’Donnell doing in Tucson?”

1. We can't forget that Castro has destabilized Western Hemisphere democracies, funded and supplied expert trainers for terrorist camps, and oh-by-the-way killed his opponents and impoverished his people.

2. Every student is a potential cheating device.

3. Al Gore has clearly fallen down on the job.

4. Why are we making fun of this?

5. Peace symbols glorify sin! San Francisco must be going to hell.

6. Then we'll have to re-name the Hershey Highway.

7. But wouldn't unisex bathrooms discriminate against trannies?

8. It's a rental.

7. The mens was out of order at work so everyone had to use the ladies loo. I was happily closeted with my newspaper building up to a huge fart when two ladies came in and started chatting. They wouldn't leave. I held on and held on. In the end I let rip. It was massive. A rumour started that it was the gorgeous office secretary that they'd heard (they started the rumour as she's gorgeous and they're fat and ugly). I bravely failed to stop the rumour....
