The Queen turns 80 this week. Of course, we’ve already helped her celebrate at the Commonwealth Games Opening by mangling the first half of “God Save the Queen” and sticking in “Happy Birthday”. Such a touching insult. Prince Phillip’s going to get her a new crown, Princess Anne’s going to reupholster the corgis, and Prince […]

They ended up going with the “Kim Beazley Appeal Appeal” but here are the […]

These mutant sharks will be just what we need to reduce the terrorist threat in Baghdad and disarm Iran! There’ll never be another 9-11 now that we’ve got MIND-CONTROLLED SHARKS!
