 Oil Companies: We Only Control Minds, Weather, Not Oil Prices HOUSTON (DPI) - ExxonMobil spokeswoman Cicely Deering has admitted that oil prices still remained beyond the control of the company, and that management would have to continue to content itself with manipulating minds and global weather. Emboldened by the industry's successful stigmatization of public transport and the popularity of SUVs barely able to convey owners from one filling station to the next, a consortium of petrochemical corporations are humbled by the juggernaut of rising gas prices paid by consumers. "Today, we are powerless to control prices, but our top wizards are working on it as we speak," Deering said. "Experts," she corrected. (Reported by Martin Bredeck and Mark Schmidt) 
Archaeologists Discover Shitty Cave Painting ZURICH (DPI) - Archaeologists in the Swiss Alps discovered a cave containing one of the oldest and shittiest cave paintings ever found in Europe. Dating back 9,600 years, the sloppy painting poorly represents images of hunters, herd animals, and family scenes. "You can hardly even tell what this guy is holding," said Dr. Evan Scheftele, leader of the expedition documenting the shoddy artwork. "What, is it a spear? Is he trying to kill that dog that's twice his size? Or is that a deer?" pondered Scheftele's six-man crew. Also found in the cave were several stone tools that looked to the team "like they'd been made by a 6-year- old."

At the nation's oldest zoo in Philadelphia, one moron points to a chimpanzee cage and tells his son, "That's a gorilla, Billy. They love to eat bananas." Another Einstein stands outside a tiger habitat and mentions how fast "the cheetah" can run. "Many people have never seen 'Wild America' or spent a day outside a city," said veteran zookeeper John Marshall. "That's why there's at least one winner every year who tells his kid that lions are the daddies and tigers are the mommies."

"So, this moron in red tights starts talking all 'thee' and 'thou' and 'for sooth' right in my face," said Carroll. "I was about to get medieval on his ass, but have you seen the cost? A trebuchet will set you back a couple grand, and a usable cat-o'-nine-tails runs a hundred bucks." Carroll, who eventually opted to pummel the man with a $10 wooden sword, admitted disappointment at feeling like he'd "gotten all Toys-R-Us" on the guy's ass. (Reported by Joseph Moore) Pipe Bomber Creates Smiley Face on Cellmate RENO, NEVADA (DPI) - Although suspected pipe bomber Luke Helder did not complete a smiling-face pattern with his terror acts, his first week in captivity has cheered up his current cellmate, Angelo "The Sledge" Smithson. "I've never seen Sledge so happy," said fellow inmate Jim Reese. "He has a big smile on his face every morning, and he spends more time in his cell [since] that new kid got here." Smithson, who gained his nickname as a professional wrestler, is awaiting trial for the alleged assault of five members of Hell's Angels. (Reported by Mark Schmidt) |

"With pent-up demand released by the anonymity of the Internet, consumers spent in record numbers," noted the report. Economists greeted the news with mixed feelings, noting that "with any increase in the GPP comes a buildup in the 'money-shot' supply effect, possibly climaxing in a full-blown slowdown." The Fed signaled it might need to lower hemlines in order to slow down the rampant expansion of key autonomic indicators caused by the "irrational exuberance" of porn consumers.

According to 23-year-old record-store clerk Richard Whittier, "When I had to choose between the Episode II line and my brother's wedding, that was a no-brainer because I figured that my brother could always get remarried. But missing Spider-Man is the most painful decision I've ever had to make." Added another nearby dweeb, "Nobody ever told me that the responsibilities of being an adult would be so hard."

"The Black Spy was the one who stole the top secret missile plans," said Hanssen in a statement. Hanssen claimed that while enjoying a midnight snack in August of 1994, the Black Spy triggered an industrial-strength spring under his refrigerator, causing the appliance to land on his head and giving the Black Spy an opportunity to steal documents. Hanssen describes the alleged saboteur as armed and hilarious. (Reported by Danny Gallagher) |
