Well, improving bombs IS improving life.


Well, machines of death improve life. It makes sense.


The test was a failure. It stopped sending data throughout the flight. I'm enjoying that.

This is really progressive! A faster way to bomb each other!

I read in a Norwagian paper that they have lost contact with the vehicle. Personally, I think there are better ways to go from London to Sydney.

On Pineview Terrace, an officer saw a woman "with a beer can in her hand, nude from the waist down, performing a sexual act on a City of Atlanta fire hydrant."

It gets worse. Much worse. Apparently, the woman was fornicating with the fire hydrant across the street from her 80-year-old mother's home. And Mom was looking out the window and saw the whole thing.

The officer approached the woman and her fire hydrant. "Upon seeing me, she threw the beer can down and started to walk away, but was hindered by her pants being around her ankles," the officer wrote. "I placed her in custody and helped her pull her pants up, and get them fastened around her waist with her belt." Surprise! The woman appeared to be very drunk. The mother said her daughter has a problem with crack cocaine and always gets high, and then comes and causes problems outside her home. (The elderly mother has custody of the woman's four kids, ages 8 to 18, who were home at the time.) Also, the mother said her daughter gives false names to police, and that's why she spends such short periods of time in jail after being arrested.

The woman, 44, went to jail on charges of public indecency, public drunkenness and littering (the beer can).

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

i saw it, it was brilliant, I watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report everyday, two of my favourtie hybreed talkshow news programs, only Craig Ferguson is funnier, I really like to think that  the Daily Shows cast is very influenced by  Monty Python i feel some of the python humour is very much alive and pressant in the corespondances and Jon himself, iike their dead panned faced interviews and how they ask really absurd quiestions with striaght faces, and are getting reall honust answers... really cool detail wich few realy thinks on tomuch....

It's not censorship it's a monopoly - you can't make it funnier than it already is.

Not quite - we didn't have a law specifically allowing it, which isn't the same thing.
What?
