 Bob Seger Releases New Album of Truck Songs DETROIT (DPI) - Classic rock icon Bob Seger is ending his hibernation with a brand new album featuring nothing but songs about pickup trucks. Seger, 
whose ubiquitous 1986 hit Like a Rock earns him millions of dollars as the
theme for a series of Chevrolet truck commercials, says the new album is
titled Like a Truck. Among the dozen new tunes are Tough as Nails,
Rock Solid, Built to Last, Construction Site Beauty and Flatbed
Fortitude. Seger is currently in negotiations with Chevrolet over advertising rights
to "a few" of the songs.
(Reported by Chris White) New Dictionary to Include Index of Words SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (DPI) - Merriam-Webster Inc. announced today that the 2003 edition of the best-selling dictionary would include a complete, alphabetical index of words featured in the edition. "This is certainly a proud day for the Merriam-Webster family," said John Morse, president and publisher of Merriam-Webster Inc. "We are on the cutting edge of the business and this move will ensure efficiency and quality in the search for the right word." Morse said the index would also serve to help word-searchers find the meaning and pronunciation of a word if they are unfamiliar with its spelling by looking for the word alphabetically in the new index.

Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) were among a group of directors who stormed the offices of Lucasfilm Ltd. yesterday and wrest control of Star Wars: Episode III from a stunned George Lucas. "They were no longer good for each other," Shyamalan explained, adding, "Someone really should have done this the moment the first Ewok was ever put on screen." Lucas will undergo treatment which may include shock therapy while watching sappy, awkward, and poorly scripted romantic scenes. (Reported by Mark Schmidt) Pakistan-India Conflict Escalated to Sarcasm, "Your Mother" Jokes ISLAMABAD (DPI): In a step destined to ratchet tensions upward, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf today unleashed a barrage of withering sarcasm and derogatory comments at Indian President K.R. Narayanan. "Ooh, like we're all scared of people wearing pajamas," Musharraf said, adding, "although pajamas are about right for Narayanan's mother, in her line of work. That, and a bag over her head." "Like I care what that little man says in his little country of goat-herders," Narayanan responded. "And at 25 rupees a pop, his ugly mother cannot afford to pause long enough to even put clothes on." Political analysts gave the advantage to Pakistan in this round, citing the derivative nature of India's comeback.

"Yard work is one area where Americans don't need to take any guff." (Reported by Joseph Moore) |

According to Blake's attorney, Harland Braun, the ad, paid for by a check in Robert Blake's name, proves nothing. "Last time I checked," stated Braun, "a newspaper ad never killed anyone. Can you find Blake's DNA anywhere on those ads? Has the newspaper been dusted for retired Detective Mark Fuhrman's prints?" (Reported by Davejames) Al-Qaeda Prisoners Providing "Useful" Information WASHINGTON (DPI) - Al-Qaeda prisoners captured during the United States' war on terrorism continue to provide "valuable" information to intelligence officials during FBI interrogations. Prisoners have hinted that future attacks against America may involve bioterrorism, scuba diving, hang gliders, go-karts, ice cream trucks and herds of sheep. "We take every suggestion seriously," one official stated while rolling his eyes. "Official policy is to investigate every possibility, even if it does involve cotton-candy vendors." Future anti-terrorist plans include a U.S.-led defense against al-Qaeda plans to destroy the moon, and a serum to stop "anti-infidel-thrax," if there is such a thing. (Reported by George MacMillan)  PBS Fundraisers to Make Your Children Cry Until They Reach Goal NEW YORK (DPI) - Fed up with deadbeat viewers who never offer financial support, PBS announced that it will pressure viewers to increase donations by replacing popular children's programs with whining for more pledge money. "The time has come for us to stop being milquetoast-y liberal pushovers," said Richard Wykowski, PBS public relations director. "Relentless pleading and begging for money during Antiques Roadshow used to be enough, but our viewers have gotten stingier. So from now on, we'll be beating on child viewers during Teletubbies and Clifford the Big Red Dog." When questioned about the harshness of the new approach, Wykowski responded, "We're done being the educational mammary glands for the public." (Reported by Miles Walker) |
