Funny Friday News

News stuff from the internet that cracks me up. I found these stories on the websites of major metropolitan newspapers ( In reference to my news rant the other day, I don't watch the news, I read it online because that way I can edit what I want to read about and also I don't have to listen to it being delivered by a screaming banshee).

1) "Burger King launches beef-scented body spray" - this is a true story!
2) LONDON (AP) — A British pilot said he ran into an unusual hazard while making an emergency landing — a cow. Accident Report (PDF): http://tinyurl.com/4tlltn
3) Couldn't find any other funny headlines, but this is a pretty good website with offbeat stuff. http://www.newsoftheweird.com/index.html

"To you the earth yields her fruit, and you shall not want if you but know how to fill your hands. It is in exchanging the gifts of the earth that you shall find abundance and be satisfied. Yet unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger......And before you leave the market place, see that no one has gone his way with empty hands. For the master spirit of the earth shall not sleep peacefully upon the wind till the needs of the least of you are satisfied." - "The Prophet," Kahlil Gibran, 1923

Hi Greg. Great news on the health update, and I'll check out your news stories. I'm going out of town for the holidays, so I wanted to send you an early MERRY CHRISTMAS wish. Have a great holiday. Tina
