Oglethorpe, GAThirty seconds after descending the stairs, Jean Dunn, age ??, announced she had no clue what she went downstairs for. "I don't think it was to get something," Dunn said.

Poor-Spelling Children Pay Dearly for "Letters to Satan"
The nation's educational crisis has taken a poignant twist this Christmas, as thousands of poor-spelling children have unwittingly addressed their "Letters to Santa" to Satan and suffered tragic consequences. Ten-year-old Sandra Ryder mistakenly asked Satan for a pony and was trampled to death by the Budweiser Clydesdales at a football game. In Minnesota, six-year-old Timmy Jones, hoping for a TonkaTM fire-truck, was killed in a four-alarm blaze that a whole company of bright, shiny pumpers could not extinguish. And hundreds of children asking Satan for Legos have found themselves buried alive inside colorful, pricey tombs made of the famous inter-locking bricks.
Postmaster General, Raine Sleet-Snow, has spent most of the past week scrambling to defend her employees: "Look, we just deliver the mail. The return bestowal of gifts, or alternatively, an eternity of hellfire and torment is left up to the recipient." She continued, "My advice is for everyone to work on their spelling. We've seen quite a few letters to 'Santa, Reaver of Souls' lately, and I'm sure Kris Kringle has no idea what to do with the talismans and chicken guts he's getting."...

"No, Virginia Rylie, there isn't a Santa Claus" |

A substitute teacher in Florida was reading aloud to her class of Kindergartners when the subject unexpectedly turned to the existence of Santa Claus. Rather than perpetuate a myth, "Mrs. P" chose to come clean with the gathered five year olds, and explained that there was no Santa, and that all presents "come from mom and dad." Well, next thing you know, kids are crying, parents are protesting, and the teacher feels awful. In an effort to "make up for the teacher's lapse," the school district decides to send in a "Santa" to visit the class in order to "set the record straight": "Today's visiting Santa, with a natural, full white beard, should convince even a classroom full of skeptics, said district spokesman Englehart. 'He's the real deal.'"...

Study: Teens Supposedly Concerned About Health |

Posted by on Thursday, December 12, 2002

Teenagers who look to the Internet for health information are being blocked from many useful sites by porn filters that federal law requires on school and library computers, a new study has found.
Brett Collier, one of the seven teenagers in the U.S. who searched for health related information on the Internet last year, found that he could not reach numerous websites.
"I was searching for information on the health risks of having really big boobs, you know, like back aches and stuff, but I couldn't get to some of the sites. My teacher suggested searching on "breast", but that just took me to a bunch of cancer sites. Cancer sucks dude."
"The filters were bad, but I found that not having a credit card was even worse. Some body should do a study of why all the good breast health information sites require a credit card."

Theory casts doubt on whether red planet ever had oceans.
Mars never had oceans as some researchers have claimed, but instead is a cold, dry planet that was pounded by water-bearing asteroids and showered with scalding rain that carved vast gullies and valleys. This suggests the Red Planet was a less than favourable place for life as we know it, a new study claims...

Hormel Sues Spam Blockers |

Hormel foods has filed suit against the Spam Prevention Early Warning System for blocking the delivery of Spam to many of its customers.
SPEWS and other spam blockers have been put on notice that Hormel will not tolerate Anti-spam activities. Weve been very happy about the way that the Internet community has embraced spam. Our research shows that spam is by far the most talked about food product on the Internet. But we dont want the words spam and anti ever being concatenated. People who attempt to concatenate spam or block the delivery of spam will see us in court.
Rather than subscribing to Spam blocking services, Hormel recommends forwarding unwanted Spam to the hungry.

The Confederate flag helped make Sonny Perdue Georgia's next governor. Now it's payback time.
Some politicians have all the luck. First Sonny Perdue manages to get himself elected as the first Republican governor of Georgia in 130 years, despite being wildly outspent by Democratic incumbent Roy Barnes. Now it looks as though Perdue's frantic, early efforts to duck a racially-tinged campaign promise regarding the state's flag may prove at least temporarily successful...

Tired of focusing on counterfeiting operations and unsubstantiated homeland-security threats, FBI director Robert Mueller said Monday that he wishes he had some exciting alien thing to cover up. "Don't get me wrong, I know the work I do is important and necessary," Mueller said. "But, man, after a long day of reading 450-page reports on plausible areas of concern for liquor-license falsification, I really wish I could order a sweeping cover-up of reverse-engineered UFO technology." Mueller added that it would be cool just to see a real spaceman.

Local Teen Activist Dampens IR Admin's Style |

Upon hearing "Awe Daddy, that is too cool !!!", (Fitzgerald to those that know her, CJ to those that love her), a local teen animal activist, came into the Irrational Noise Hub to investigate and was appalled by what she saw. IR administrator Alex Dunn, along with IR Consultant Drew Dunn and Gaming Consultant of Rece's Pieces.com, were reviewing various games for both the Irrational Noise and Rece's Pieces sites and had fallen upon the idea to add an animal gaming section.
Distraught by the giggles and guffaws of her siblings, brought on by such games as Cat Bowling, Kick the Kitty, Farting Dog's Harmonica and the likes, delivered her ultimatum, " Ya'll are sick. Those games are just cruel. Daddy, if you post those links, I'll never speak to you again !!!"
Fearing this to be no idle threat, the reluctant trio agreed to remove the offensive games in question..."There now will you talk to me, Pumpkin'"?...
