Osama bin Laden: Tower Erector

Well, if there's one thing Osama bin Laden and his family know, that's tall buildings. So I guess it just makes sense that his family business is on the short list of contractors bidding to build the tallest skyscraper in the world. The skyscraper, to be called the Burj Dubai, is slated to be almost 1/2 a mile high and will include apartments, offices, restaurants, you name it. The ground has been cleared, and soon enough we'll see if the irony of bin Laden's hoard creating the skyscraper will come to fruition.

Cracker Barrel Giving Out Cracker Jack Prizes in Soup?

A woman out celebrating mother's day at the ritzy establishment known as Cracker Barrel in Newport News was slurping her veggie soup when she hit upon something small, round, and....furry. Yup, it was a Mother's Day Mousie! YUM!

As soon as they found out about it, Cracker Barrel management put a halt to the serving of the MouseNVeggie soup in all of their restaurants. The mouse is being tested now to determine if it was in the soup when the package arrived from the vendor, or if in fact it climbed in at the restaurant.

And They Want Us to Stop Making Polish Jokes...

In Warsaw last Saturday, Polish police accidentally loaded their weapons with live ammo rather than rubber bullets when they went out to quell a campus riot. Well, they quelled the spirit to live in one of the students they shot and seriously injured a slew of other students there.

Police had been called out to calm things down after a gang of 100 or so men appeared with chains, bricks, and metal rods and were ready to rumble. Their calming influence made it so there were 70 injuries and one fatality.

"Never in the history of Lodz has there been a hooligan incident with so many victims," city mayor Jerzy Kropiwnicki told a televised news conference.

Prosecutors are investigating how 25 lead-tipped bullets got mixed in with the rubber bullets used by police to restore order.
