News Bits!

  • A convicted drug dealer quoted Janet Jackson, Miss Jackson if you're nasty, as his final words before dying of lethal injection in Huntsville.
  • Georgia wants to sue the Corps of Engineers for stealing their water. Georgia fears a drought and wants the water back...or something.
  • Some employees of the Brushy Creek water treatment plant kept celebrating after an Open House and were fired for drinking in the parking lot and swimming in a retention pond. Considering that drinking leads to serious peeing, we're going to recommend boiling your water before you drink it.
  • As if we needed another excuse to run around naked, the Running of the Nudes annual event in Pamplona is coming up. Aimed at tourists, PETA sure makes a decent effort to protest the Running of the Bulls.
  • Anheuser-Busch might dive into the wine and spirit industry and ruin that for everyone just like they ruined beer.
  • A 14 year-old girl is blaming Myspace.com for her own bad decision; she's suing the website after her parents failed to parent.
  • Um. Has anyone else heard of oral suction circumcision? Make sure you're paying attention to the new guidelines. You don't want to get into trouble...or...anything.
