 (Reported by Travis Ruetenik, graphic by Kevin Wickart) LeBron Considers Founding Religion CLEVELAND (DPI) - Declaring that his goal of starring in the NBA is a foregone conclusion, high school basketball phenomenon LeBron James announced this week he was seeking to start his own religion. His agent denied that his 19-year-old client is overreaching with plans to become a world religious leader, saying, "People are hungry for something to give meaning to their drab, pointless lives, especially since Jordan re-retired. And, frankly, if L. Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith can pull it off, it should be a no-brainer for LeBron." The key feature of LeBronism is said to be "salvation with serious hop and wicked moves to the hole." "I don't want to be the next Jesus Christ," James said. "I just want to be the best LeBron James I can be." (Reported by Joseph Moore) Islamic Dude Killed by Lightning INDIANAPOLIS (DPI) - This is a true story. This guy was, he was one of those Islamic dudes, OK, so he's praying facing Islam five or six times a day almost every day, five or six times a day. My buddy's roommate knew this dude, I met the guy once and everything. OK, so he's praying this one day he's facing Islam when he gets hit by this bolt of lightning and dies. I'm not making this up, man, you can ask Cliff and he'll tell you. So Islam is the answer? Well, why'd the dude get blowed up by lightning then? If you can answer that one, I'll convert, dude. (Reported by This One Guy) Iraqi Minister of Information in Demand as Commencement Speaker IRVINE, Calif. (DPI) - As the job prospects of this year's crop of graduates continue to circle the drain in ever tighter spirals, those charged with finding an appropriate commencement speaker have cast their nets ever farther. This year's prize catch is Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, the recently laid-off Iraqi minister of information. "The future of college graduates, especially in high-tech, has never been brighter, with all graduates enjoying multiple high-paying offers in their chosen fields," al-Sahhaf told University of California-Irvine graduates. He concluded that "only godless infidels" doubt their ability to pay off all those college loans. (Reported by Ishmael Alighieri) |

Canada Consolidates Top Three Deadly Diseases OTTAWA (DPI) - Canadian Federal Health Minister Anne McLelland has approved a motion to merge and shorten the names of the nation's three biggest health scares. Mad cow disease, SARS and the West Nile virus will now be referred to simply as "Cowsarnile." The rationale for the move was to give Canadian border guards just one all-inclusive, catchy term to use while downplaying or dismissing the concerns of jittery American tourists entering the country. Officials are confident the more streamlined "Cowsarnile" will speed up lines at the numerous manned crossings along the Canadian-U.S. border. "Come to Canada, but don't worry about the cowsarnile," said McLelland. (Reported by Brad Osberg) Fashion Designers: "Gleeble Me Little Squid Loony!" PARIS (DPI) - Fashion designer Lonny Ignazzi went into a frenzy yesterday, trying to paint dressing-room walls with his own urine. "We're just crazy people taking your money," witnesses quoted Ignazzi as saying before his words became unintelligible. One of his assistants attributed the episode to psychiatric problems rampant in the industry. "Ignazzi and most other fashion designers are certifiably insane," said the assistant, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "They dress emaciated women in scraps of cellophane and metal in 'designs' that you will never see on the market." An unnamed industry insider also acknowledged the existence of widespread emotional disorders. "Most of us who pay to attend these shows are direct descendants of people who crammed into the freak tent whenever the circus came to town," he said.

tax in lieu of any further food, water or medical
assistance to the suffering nation.
"The main problem in Iraq isn't hunger,
the torrent of looters, or even the
collapse of their infrastructure in the wake of
war, but rather that Iraq's highest wage earners are being overtaxed on the
sale of investments in their portfolios," said the president.
Bush said his plan also will benefit lower- and
middle-class Iraqis, who will now have a
maximum capital gains tax of only 15 percent on the sale of
their goats.
