Giant Pig Attacks Alaska
Well, no one has actually called it a flying pig as of yet, but it might as well be. Just like the poor Connecticut residents whose story I brought to light when their neighborhoods were viciously bombarded by the cacophony of Mister Softee ice cream trucks, the people of Alaska are in trouble.

'Tis the Season to be German
The month of October has us well within its tyrannical clutches, and that can only mean one thing - we must once again face the most fiendish of holidays. It is a celebration of all that is evil, a dark ritual meant to expose the demonic nature within mankind, an unholy ceremony in which people of all ages and a wide range genders don stultifying costumes that are designed to terrify the innocent and drive the worst among us to new heights of depravity. I'm talking, of course, about Oktoberfest.

The Art of Shoplifting
The following is a reproduction of the article published by the Student newspaper Rabelais in July 1995. The article was effectively banned and the editors charged facing 6 years in jail and $24,000 fines. In March 99 the charges were finally dropped without explanation. The article still remains banned in Australia.
Shoplifting is a topic that is practically relevant to many and it should therefore not become an exclusive craft confined to a small shoplifting elite. On the contrary, shoplifting is an art that deserves the widest possible dissemination. For your convenience we have printed below a step by step guide to shoplifting. Good luck.

Food Scientist Developing Wine-Based Disinfectant
Chardonnay disinfects: at least it has some use
How about a nice glass of Chardonnay to go with that sponge when cleaning the kitchen? Looking to build on previous anti-microbial research and anecdotal evidence, Daeschel decided to take a hard, scientific look at a centuries-old piece of advice: drinking wine with a meal helped some people avoid food poisoning.

A patently absurd invention?
Inventors have been registering bright ideas with the UK Patent Office for 150 years. While the flush toilet, computer and aspirin have proved invaluable, the same cannot be said of every innovation.
