That's because St Hugh has been gone for so long.
Without him to keep the Prairie Squid in line, they've invaded the oceans.

Pretty soon they'll be making pressure suits and cutting huge swathes over the earth's surface!

Principia Discordia may be closer to the truth than even we realize.

A control system based on chaos has made a simulated, multi-legged robot walk successfully.

THIS IS JUST WRONG!!!!!!!!!!

BERLIN (Reuters) - Thieves have stolen scantily clad garden gnomes
from a gnome peepshow in an eastern German amusement park, park
manager Frank Ullrich said on Thursday.

"The gnomes display naked body parts -- the same ones you'd expect to
see in a human peep show," Ullrich said of his missing stars.

The adults-only attraction at Dwarf-Park Trusetal, where visitors peep
through keyholes to see the saucy German miniatures in compromising
poses, was smashed open early on Thursday morning.

Ullrich said he feared the gnomes would not be traced.

"I doubt they're standing in someone's garden, they'll have to have been
hidden inside."

Family gunfight erupts over chicken.
Differences over culinary methods prompts father, son gunplay


BLUEWELL, W.Va. (AP) A family meal erupted into a gunbattle after a father and son clashed over how to cook chicken.

The two men argued Sunday over the best way to prepare skinless chicken for dinner.

"It started out as a physical confrontation, but it escalated until both of them were shooting at each other," Det.-Sgt. A.D. Beasley of the Mercer County Sheriff's Department said Monday.

Beasley said each man fired a .22-calibre handgun at the other. Harley Shrader was struck by a bullet that went through the upper part of his right ear and lodged in the back of his head. He was treated at a hospital and released. The elder Shrader was not injured.

Jackie Lee Shrader, 49, was charged with malicious wounding and wanton endangerment. Harley Lee Shrader, 24, was charged with wanton endangerment.

People with no better aim than that, should not be allowed in the kitchen.

LAFAYETTE, La. -- The traditional start of the Christmas shopping season turned out to be a sticky affair. Vandals apparently glued the locks on dozens of Lafayette's biggest retailers, forcing hundreds of shoppers to wait in long lines as "Black Friday" slipped away and frantic store managers summoned locksmiths. Lines formed in and around stores in the Mall of Acadiana while the locksmiths drilled the doors and removed the locks.

Marijuana Bale Found in Food Bank Shipment


AUBURN, Maine (AP) - Drug agents are investigating how a 20-pound bale of marijuana got mixed in with a truckload of watermelons that were delivered to the Good Shepherd Food-Bank.

A volunteer came across the marijuana while picking through the watermelons Thursday afternoon. The man said the marijuana, which was neatly wrapped with packing tape, was loaded near the front end of a tractor-trailer that was delivering the watermelons to the food bank's warehouse.

After the bale was discovered, the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency was called. An agent quizzed the man who found the bale but quickly determined he had nothing to do with the illegal shipment.

``It was definitely bizarre,'' the volunteer, who didn't want to be identified, told the Sun Journal of Lewiston.

When investigators came to the warehouse, the bale had been unloaded and the truck driver was gone.

Agents said they were looking for the driver in the Boston area, but they don't think he had anything to do with the marijuana, either.

More likely, a drug trafficker thousands of miles away in Mexico loaded the pot and either forgot about it or was forced to abandon the shipment, they said. The source of the pot isn't expected to be located.

The bale was seized as evidence and will likely be destroyed, investigators said. Police estimated the street value at about $20,000.

Good Shepherd Food-Bank distributes food to more than 470 food pantries and soup kitchens in Maine. Last year, the group distributed more than 9 million pounds of food.

Volunteers sort food that is donated from supermarkets and other sources, throwing away the products that cannot be eaten. The rest feed an estimated 50,000 people each month.
