Anyone who’s watched the animated Planet of the Apes series from the 1970s will know exactly what I mean…without further ado, here’s “Monkey vs. Robot” by (Get This!) James Kochalka Superstar…which, BTW, is also available on iTunes!

Good thing that robot wasn’t a Toaster….

HAT TIP: Killgore Trout

WELL WELL WELL...see this girl? Yes, though she’s 25 and legally an adult, she got caught in Mexico with a 13-year-old seventh grade student as they fled from the discovery of their illicit affair in Nebraska.
And it isn’t just an “illicit affair” either. The boy she was having an affair with WAS AN ILLEGAL HIMSELF! So tell us Ms. Peterson as you sit in Jail: what was your purpose on boffin’ the kid? Was it your secret fantasy, as it seems for so many female teachers these days, just to frak him for frak’s sake? OR...was it so you could give him the damn anchor baby which would surely have kept him in the United States?
Now watch, Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon and (especially) Elvira Arellano will all go apes**t over this and demand that the kid be let back into our country…and of course, the former teacher will go straight to a Nebraska Prison, serve her time, and be required to register as a sex offender. I’ve got a better idea Ms. Peterson…if you really are preggers with this kid’s kid, why don’t you stay down in Mexico with him?

Granted this was the first year where it happened…but Daylight Saving Time from second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November seems way too long for me. If you agree, be sure to write/email/call/fax your Congressional Representative and both your US Senators!
Thank you. We now return you to your regular programming.

It was only a matter of time until I ran into this:

I don’t know about you, but if I were on a plane which clipped another parked craft during taxiing to the runway, resulting in damage to both, I sure would not want to fly that clipping aircraft again in 24 hours; the clipped plane of course being out of the question entirely.
Judging from the pix over at the Daily Mail article, I couldn’t really tell if the clipping aircraft got damaged in the collision. Common sense tells me that Sri Lankan Airlines should have immediately grounded the plane and asked for an Airbus team to inspect and, if necessary repair any resulting damage.
While Sri Lankan Airlines ate the hotel costs for the overnight stay, I wonder if they could have also gone farther and eaten the cost of their tickets for that flight. Seven passengers left the plane the next day; I hope the rest got to their destination fine….
