                          4\30\00 - 11:46 PM GMT More borscht?  No thanks!
 Dining at the American consulate in Poland this evening, midway through 
                          dinner with several high-ranking officials, The Rev. 
                          Brendan Powell Smith was cordially offered a second 
                          bowl of borscht. "No, thank you," he replied 
                          as politely as possible. Smith later revealed to the 
                          press that the mere smell of the soup had made him feel 
                          ill, and that when nobody was looking, he had poured 
                          the first bowl down his pants.

                          4\27\00 - 2:50 PM GMT Rumors of GOF 
                          UGNÜT reunion false
 Reacting to yesterday's front page story run by a Dutch tabloid claiming 
                          the imminent reunion of GOF 
                          UGNÜT, 
                          Rev. Smith today dismissed the rumors as "hogwash". 
                          He further denied any knowledge of an animatronic Jonathan 
                          Anthony Field built by U. N. scientists especially for 
                          this event. GÜ broke up 
                          in 1993 after Field died in an olympic-sized swimming 
                          pool of his own vomit.
 Monday 
                          4\24\00 - 3:12 AM GMT Smith down 7 7/16 in heavy trading
 Shares of The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith were off 7 7/16 at day's end 
                          after jittery investors staged a late session sell-off. 
                          "This has long been an over-valued stock, and a 
                          correction of this magnitude was inevitable," stated 
                          W. T. Johnston.  Rev. Smith, based Mountain View, 
                          CA, recently added The 
                          Second Coming to his product line, hoping to continue 
                          the success he has had with his recent 
                          album and flagship project BRAD: 
                          the game.

                          Sunday 4\16\00 - 9:41 PM GMT Catholic church adopts 3rd testament
 In a historic 1-0 vote, the Pope today voted to adopt The New Improved 
                          Testament into the church's official 
                          Holy Bible. This third "testament" joins the 
                          ranks of the ancient Old Testament and the long-accepted 
                          New Testament as official word of GOD. This newest testament 
                          "completes the trilogy" according to the Pope. 
                          It is expected that other Christian churches will follow 
                          the Pope's lead, adopting this work in weeks to come.

                          4\14\00 - 12:56 PM GMTSmith constructs time machine
 After years of research and countless hours of round-the-clock construction, 
                          The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith has finally developed 
                          a working time machine.  This early model is not 
                          without its restrictions, explained Smith, as it can 
                          only travel forward in time not backward.  Nonetheless, 
                          its first test was an unqualified success.  "This 
                          morning I stepped into the machine and set it for an 
                          hour into the future.  After a grueling sixty-minute 
                          journey, I had arrived in the future," smiled Smith, 
                          "exactly on time."
 Tuesday 
                          4\11\00 - 7:13 AM GMT Dentist informs Smith of new cavity
 A routine visit to the dentist for a cleaning yesterday revealed that 
                          Rev. Smith may have a new cavity developing. "His 
                          teeth are fine," said Dr. Yakamoto, "That's 
                          not the problem. But there is evidence to suggest that 
                          Smith may have an anal cavity." The dentist 
                          told Smith that he needs to brush more often, always 
                          remembering to get to those hard-to-reach-spots, and 
                          not to forget to floss regularly.

                          4\6\00 - 6:50 PM GMT Would you like some fries with that?
 Let's see... that was one double cheeseburger - hold the mayo, one spicy 
                          chicken super-value meal with a medium Sprite, two large 
                          orders of onion rings, a big bacon classic with just 
                          lettuce, a small vanilla shake, a medium Diet Coke, 
                          and two apple pies to go... would you like some fries 
                          with that, sir?
 Monday 
                          4\3\00 - 3:43 PM GMT The 
                          New Improved Testament goes online
 Who could forget The Reverend's wacky daily comic strip The Second Coming 
                          from his salad days at Boston University?  Well, 
                          if you have somehow forgotten or never got to

                          catch up on all those crazy misadventures of Jesus, 
                          Brendan, GOD, Tori, Frog the Frog and the whole gang,

 Friday 
                          4\1\00 - 8:20 PM GMT April Fools!
 Yesterday's report of scary monsters attacking the Earth was really 
                          just a good old fashion April Fool's Day joke. If you 
                          fell for it, well, count yourself among the untold thousands 
                          who got duped and took such (in hindsight pretty silly) 
                          actions as: emptying their bank accounts, fleeing to 
                          bomb shelters for days on end, and/or mass suicide.
