h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The BBC gave it an unfortunate headline

"Atlantis hits Earth in California"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6232320.stm

I was going to make the very same post!

'CIA to reveal decades of misdeeds'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6229750.stm

The report is 693 pages long. (In font size 2, single-spaced)

Doomsday clock now at 23.55.

From The Times (ooh, I feel like I'm on Radio 4's News Quiz!)

"Broken windows rise by a fifth during Wimbledon, it emerged yesterday. With this year's championships starting on Monday, the phenomenon, blamed on mis-hit tennis balls, has been dubbed 'Federer fever'. Norwich Union said it paid out £4.3 million broken glass claims last year but the biggest rise was in June."

Well it ed me.

"Broken windows rise by a fifth during Wimbledon" Do they?

"It emerged yesterday" What did? I'm thinking somebody's been constipated.

Constipated by broken glass- ouch!!

Soviet Re-Union

http://newsbiscuit.com/article/soviet-union-to-reform-for-one-night-only-136

"The countries of the former Soviet Union have agreed to reform for a special one-off evening of military posturing, human rights abuse and state-controlled oppression.

The fifteen countries stretching from Lithuania to Tajikistan, were persuaded to bury their differences and get back together to cash in on the current trend for 1970s nostalgia."
