Animal Quackers^^^

Alcatraz prison in the 20s housed many hard core criminals. Nevertheless, the Annual Animal Imitation Competition was always a big hit with the inmates. Defending champion Robert Stroud aka the Birdman of Alcatraz was the favorite with his bird calls. Al Capone came in well prepared with his pig grunts and many of the judges in his back pocket. To minimize rigging, the new voting system required each judge to vote by secret ballot for 2 candidates.


Not surprisingly (in hindsight) what happened was that each bias judge voted for his particular "sponsor" and for the worst participant, who the judge thought had no chance. So the totally unexpected happened. A small-time hood with his terrible cow impressions won the event!!

Why is it that when you kill one person, you are evil. When you kill a hundred (like Al Capone) you are sort of a cult hero and when you kill tens of thousand (Napoleon, Qin Shi Huang, Alexander the Great) you are, well ... great. This feghoot is dedicated to peace lovers who can see though the propaganda.

Water Water Everywhere^

With the melting of the icecaps, sea levels are rising and flooding the low lying areas. The most effective counter-measure is through land reclamation. A lot of money is needed to flatten mountains and hills in order to fill up the depressions and lowlands on the Earth.


It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ...
Money makes the World go Round.

Pres. GW Bush and others will go down in history as key people who were in power in the right country, at the right time, with the right resources but did nothing.
