                          3\31\00 - 2:33 PM GMT Alliance of scary monsters attacks
 The intergalactic alliance of scary monsters attacked Earth this morning 
                          causing upwards of $43 million trillion dollars in damages. 
                          The havoc began at the crack of dawn as the tag team 
                          of Krogg!!! and Xelthux leveled downtown Manhattan. 
                          By noontime, Verminator 7 had destroyed much of Western 
                          Europe, and the sinister Soupy was responsible for Taiwan 
                          colliding with India. As of 2pm, the dreadful beast 
                          known as Borgar was reportedly somewhere in the Australian 
                          desert, lost and getting lonely.
 Monday 
                          3\27\00 - 3:15 PM GMT Rod Stewart issues apology
 A long and bitter feud was one step closer to coming to an end today 
                          as singer Rod Stewart issued an apology to The 
                          Rev. Brendan Powell Smith for all past grievances. But 
                          experts are unsure how Smith will react to this most 
                          recent gesture. "I can never forgive that man for 
                          the harm he has brought upon me, my family, and the 
                          League of Women Voters," Smith was quoted as saying 
                          as recently as last week. Stewart is 55 years old.
 Saturday 
                          3\25\00 - 1:26 AM GMT Smith fails
 That old familiar feeling greeted Rev. Smith today for the umpteenth 
                          time in recent days: failure. This time it was of the 
                          complete and utter variety, a particularly potent strain, 
                          but one to which Smith has grown accustomed to. "I 
                          really, really tried this time," moped a crestfallen 
                          Smith before slumping over dejectedly. Smith will try 
                          again tomorrow.
 Wednesday 
                          3\22\00 - 4:45 PM GMT Only 30 days to spend $30 million
 The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith's uncle had just died, leaving him a huge 
                          inheritance - but there's just one catch: a codicil 
                          in his will states that Smith will only get his full 
                          $300 million inheritance if he can first spend $30 million 
                          in just 30 days without giving any money away or buying 
                          gifts for others - and if he fails, he keeps nothing. 
                          Reportedly, Smith intends to start buying lots of LEGO.
 Sunday 
                          3\19\00 - 3:18 AM GMT BRAD: 
                          the game outlawed in Red Oak
 The small Virginia community of Red Oak today voted to ban BRAD: 
                          the game. The move comes after two seven-year-old 
                          boys were found passed out next to their computer after 
                          an all-night session of playing the computer game. "One 
                          of them was dressed up like a monkey," stated the 
                          horrified mother of one of the boys, "and the other 
                          had put lettuce in his pajamas."
 Tuesday 
                          3\14\00 - 11:12 AM GMT Corpses piling up
 Workers are stacking dead bodies on top of each other around the clock 
                          today in an attempt to clear the way for the next load 
                          of bodies which is expect to arrive late this afternoon. 
                          "We're really running out of space here," 
                          said one worker, "that's probably our number one 
                          problem right now - after the stench." The giant 
                          pile of corpses now spans over 37 square miles and is 
                          200 meters high in parts - with no likely end in sight.
 Saturday 
                          3\11\00 - 3:41 PM GMT Vendetta 
                          up for Internet Film award
 A holiday classic in its own time, Vendetta: 
                          A Christmas Story, has been nominated under 
                          the category of Best 
                          New Talent in the International 
                          Internet Film Festival which is being held in Lille, 
                          France this week. Vendetta, 
                          which was written by and stars our very own Rev. Brendan 
                          Powell Smith, is reportedly very well liked among the 
                          French.
 Thursday 
                          3\9\00 - 7:27 PM GMT Smith toy recalled in US
 The recently released Rev. Brendan Powell Smith action figure which features 
                          a head that shoots across the room has been recalled 
                          by the manufacturer today after numerous consumer complaints 
                          caused many retailers like Wal-Mart and Target stores 
                          to refuse to carry it. The head-firing toy has become 
                          an instant collector's item and is quickly selling out 
                          at stores in Europe and Asia where it is still available.
 Monday 
                          3\6\00 - 11:33 AM GMT Date with Chelsea goes poorly
 A date with Cheslea Clinton went poorly for Rev. Smith this past 
                          weekend. The two longtime friends got together on Saturday 
                          and, at Smith's insistance, went to his place and watched 
                          the Disney Channel original movie My Date with the 
                          President's Daughter (starring Dabney Coleman). 
                          "The movie was pretty cool," said Smith, "but 
                          afterward, she just kept talking about her ex-boyfriend 
                          Michael 
                          Baer. Then she went home early to do some homework."
 Thursday 
                          3\2\00 - 5:24 PM GMT Smith sighted in Toronto, Canada
 Police have been put on alert, the mayor has been notified, and local 
                          fondue restaurants are closing early today after several 
                          reports of The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith roaming the 
                          city. One report had him strumming guitar on the observation 
                          deck of the CN Tower while another had him sipping coffee 
                          at the Future Bakery downtown. Not all citizens, however, 
                          are convinced of the accuracy of these reports. "What 
                          we are dealing with here is an imposter," remarked Jayson Levesque, "or perhaps a skilled and coordinated 
                          team of impostors."
