Wack News!

by Jack Mathews Nov 06, 2000 10:32am CST tags: Wack News
I haven't done this in awhile, partially out of laziness and partially because cnn.com moved their Fringe section to the other side of their page. But since run of the mill game news is about as funny as a stroke and Steve's apparently away running for president, I decided I should try to show some of the wackier stories I could find in two minutes:

  • Scientists ask: Do penguins really fall over? - That English value added tax at work. And this story would have been infinitely more entertaining if they had video to accompany this...
  • No Beard, No Service, Citizens Told - Well I guess Maarten's just shit out of luck.
  • Stuck SUV Window Leads to Drug Find - ... and speaking of Maarten...

    And for you shack readers not in the know, Maarten is from Holland and thus has a wicked drug habit that Steve and I mock all the time, though it just kills Maarten on the inside. Poor guy!
