This is the sort of article that the information below refers to. British Airways have begun a new study into solving the old problem of jet-lag. They’re hoping to encourage people’s body clocks to adjust to different time zones via the use of adjusted sleep patterns. When you’re supposed to be awake, stewardesses walk up […]
The Age wants cash for this article too. You’ll get the gist. A number of high profile celebrities, including Shane Warne and Elle Macpherson, have recently split up but claim that they remain “the best of friends” with their former partners. Though apparently Warnie can have a lot of best friends. Relationship specialists say it […]
Another batch of Blackwell/Holt nonsense for The Glass House. South Australian high school students now have a chance to do a subject which teaches them how to be a politican. Great. A high school full of Alexander Downers. When kids are politicians, does that mean at election time they have to kiss themselves? The Youth […]
The SMH has this article over here my friends. The Tax Office is cracking down on non-profit organisations, with a new list of criteria that charities have to satisfy to qualify for tax exemption. An organisation is not deemed charitable if its purpose is “propagating or promoting a particular point of view”, a fairly broad […]

One day I’ll stick these over in Spam Storm, but for now you my beloved blogees can get them first. An Open Letter to the Kansas School Board. All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster and His Noodly Appendage! The iFlea Over’n’out
Glass House raw material about an article a bit like this one. South Chinese models are being forced to take an exam to show that they can walk properly before taking part in fashion shows. Some stay up all night the night before, pacing back and forth nervously. Which is good practice. South Chinese models […]
Comedy fodder from Blackwell & Holt regarding this article. A German court has upheld the right of Wal-Mart staff in Germany to flirt at work. The court rejected parts of Wal-Mart’s code of conduct relating to employees’ love lives, alcohol and drug use. This is particularly good news for alcoholic crackwhores. And Courtney Love. A […]
Warnie gets mobile phone implanted to save time. Warnie receiving a particularly steamy SMS beamed right into his cortex. This year’s Ashes tour is only being broadcast on brain-cable TV. Warnie’s new hair replacement a success, though I would’ve thought a toupee was less conspicuous. The new domestic cyborg Warnie – you’ll never have to […]
