Why did the chicken cross the road?
SAEED AL SAHAF - Iraqi Head of Information:
The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We do not even have a chicken.
GEORGE W BUSH: We don't care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either for us or against us. There is no middle ground.
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
TONY BLAIR: I agree with George.
HANS BLIX: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
GRANDAD: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
TRICIA: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart-warming story of how it experienced a serious case of moulting, and went on to accomplish its dream of crossing the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together - in peace.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
KARL MARX: It was an historic inevitability.
RONALD REAGAN: What chicken?
SIGMUND FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
BILL GATES: eChicken2003 will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook - and internet explorer is an integral part of eChicken.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON:What is your definition of chicken?
THE BIBLE: And God came down from heaven, and he said unto the chicken THOU SHALT CROSS THE ROAD. And the chicken didst cross the road, and there was rejoicing.
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
HOMER SIMPSON: Mmmmmmmmm . . . . c h i c k e n !!!

Wig!
In the process of searching the interweb for a brand new non-detectable toupee to wear in case some politician requires me to remove my niqab... and to also hide my increasing bald patch and to stop people from calling me 'Sven-Goran'... I discovered the Wig Shop. Okay, the wigs here all seem to be for the female persuasion, but upon finding the site I was instantly engrossed in it. Not only does it include some spellbindingly superb head coverings but just take a look at the dolls that are modeling them. Are they not incredibly lifelike? Do they not spring to life when you gaze at them for long enough? Don't they mesmerise you as you stare into those amazing eyes? Or am I talking out of my behind... as usual.

Celebrity Aliens
I came across this quite amusing website whilst aimlessly browsing this evening... I certainly do lead a full and exciting existence, especially on a Saturday night! As you may have already guessed, it's a site containing an array of images, namely famous people with their features altered to resemble aliens. Browsing the galleries is a real treat, the images are well done, although all appear to adhere to the formula of big heads, big eyes, and small chins and mouths. Here you can see Harry Potter and Hermione (spelt 'Hermiona' at the site). Go here and take a look, the galleries are amazing.
Table Soccer Streaker
It has been many years since I was a member of a Subbuteo soccer league, and I remember not too fondly that I was quite hopeless, I seemed to lose every game I played by at least 4-0. Although the only items I bought myself were the actual players, I was aware that people could buy floodlights, stands, and more stuff as accessories for their individual Subbuteo set up. Now imagine how shocked I was to discover that nowadays you can purchase for your table soccer delights actual streakers, both male and female, designed to interrupt your miniature football pleasures. If you don't believe me follow this link!
F*rting Herring
Watching the Animal Planet channel recently I saw a feature on herring, in which it was claimed that they deliberately 'break wind' in the water in order to communicate. Note that I remember from my schooldays that the plural of herring is indeed herring! So these emissions from behind are known in the science world as Fast Repetitive Ticks, FRT's for short. Surely not! This has got to be some kind of April fool! However, upon reading this article and a few more I discovered on the web, this claim has just got to be truthful.
