Snow?! Militant Wasps (no, not White Anglo-Saxon protestants)

For lack of anything to say, I thought I would bring you the most important news.

When Poultry goes BAD!

Teacher fired after allegedly biting boy: Speaks for itself!

Hapless series of crimes for suspected drunken driver To summarize: "David John Verrow, 46, was booked into Santa Rita Jail on a laundry list of crimes after he hit two parked cars, dashed from his truck and barricaded himself in his room. Once there, he used an ax to hack his way into an attic crawl space -- only to fall through the ceiling into the arms of the police below." NICE!

I don't necessarily believe this, although it sounds like an excellent way for us to waste money: Pentagon plans cyber-insect army I read a similar article a ways back... coincidentally also the BBC..... No possible anti-American bias here or anything, considering we don't even hear about it in the U.S. but somehow the islanders seem to have the 411 on us. US 'plans stealth shark spies'
On the article regarding wasps, there is a priceless side bar discussing failed military uses for animals. I know its wrong, and will likely add to my years in purgatory or hell, but it really had me cracking up especially:
WWII: Attach a bomb to a cat and drop it from a dive-bomber on to Nazi ships. The cat, hating water, will "wrangle" itself on to enemy ship's deck. In tests cats became unconscious in mid-air
They should have thrown some dogs into the mix, just to bring some truth to the old proverb.WWII: Attach incendiaries to bats. Induce hibernation and drop them from planes. They wake up, fly into factories etc and blow up. Failed to wake from hibernation and fell to death
