Not A Lot Of Eye Contact At Andes Crash Survivors Reunion

Thirty years after their plane crashed in the rugged Andes mountains, forcing them to eat the flesh of the dead in order to survive, surviving members of the Uruguayan rugby team met in Chile to remember the tragic event. "This is the first time many of us have seen each other since the crash," says survivor Roberto Canessa. "It's a very emotional -and somewhat uncomfortable- time for us all." Fellow survivor Fernando Parrado agrees, adding "I managed to get through the whole thing without looking any of them in the eye."

Attendance at the barbecue following the reunion was much lower than expected. _

Israel has agreed to pull out of the West Bank, but only if the US promises to end it's assault by news anchors. The US-lead attack began last week when ABC sent veteran anchor Peter Jennings into the region and NBC launched Tom Brokaw at Israeli-held lands. The latest salvo, dubbed i[Operation Old White Guy], sent Dan Rather into Jerusalem and is being credited with the Israeli pullout. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon gave the announcement after Sunday's weekly Cabinet meeting, saying "Our troops can't hold up against the constant droning voices and meaningless commentaries. I have spoken with Arafat and we have both agreed to stop the conflict in the hopes of avoiding a prolonged Wolf Blitzer attack by CNN. _

Report Finds That Some Things Did Not Change September 11

September 11th was indeed the day that everything changed. Or was it? The National Center for Science and Journalism released a report last Wednesday attempting to summarize the changes actually detected so far. The surprising results indicate that there are indeed some things that have NOT changed since the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center.

The report begins by acknowledging the more obvious massive changes that did occur. Among the major effects sited are the introduction of terrorism into the world, a sharp increase in the threat inherent in nail clippers, and an end to the shark menace. The report then goes on to indicate that some things have actually remained the same.

Arabic Numerals Detained Indefinitely

As one of its first acts, the Office of Homeland Security has arrested and detained, without charge, the Arabic numerals. Suspicions against the numerals arose following the discovery of the apparent significance of the number 11 in the September 11 attacks on the WTC. The number "1" has been implicated as a key figure in the attacks, yet little direct suspicion can be attributed to 0, and 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9. However, these other numbers are to be held indefinitely for the general welfare. It should be emphasized that while the other numerals may also experience some hardships during this time, the will of the American people is only to bring the number 1 to justice, with minimal impact to the other numbers. _

Brown is quoted as being, "rather vexed," about the loss of his parcel. In a release to the AP Brown notes that he is also considering possible legal action against United, who was responsible for misplacing his luggage onto the ill-fated flight. _

With each speech since the terrorist attacks on America, the President's tone has become more and more war-like in his wording. At his latest press conference, he has upped the ante to the next level with his statement "Osama Bin Laden is nothin but a punk-ass bitch. Me and my dogz gonna get da gats and take him out."

Bush went on to say he has advised all top-level military officials to call him 'B Diddy' for the duration of the conflict, as well as to ready his "lead-pipe-hittin niggaz ta go toe-ta-toe with the mutha fucka."

For the rest of us, Bush urged calm, but to be ready for war, "To my peeps, I sez chill, but you gots ta know, we gonna get our freak on. Peace! I'm outa here!" _

On oil tanker off the coast of Washington ran aground, spilling millions of gallons of crude oil. The spill, now covering several miles of coastline, threatens native wildlife, but also, the captain's job. While the environmental toll is probably going to be pretty bad, the really sad part is that the captain is now likely out of a job, pending a court decision.
