                          snoozes, loses
 For 
                          the 432nd time, The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith has lost 
                          in a sleeping contest with his cat. "I really thought 
                          I had him this time," said a disappointed Smith, 
                          yawning and rubbing his eyes. "I'd been up for 
                          more than twenty-four hours yesterday," said Smith, 
                          "so I figured I'd have the edge on ol' Ringo who 
                          had already spent most of the day napping." Despite 
                          Smith's impressive performance of fifteen and half hours 
                          of marathon sleeping, Ringo easily managed to match 
                          Smith and then continued sleeping an extra two and a 
                          half hours. Smith was quick to vow for a rematch. "I 
                          can do this," said Smith, determinedly. "I 
                          just need to train harder."

                          self-cannibalizing fast food items on rise
 In 
                          what has become an alarming trend across North America, 
                          giant anthropomorphic fast food items have come to life 
                          and are eating themselves. On San Francisco's Pier 39 
                          last week, a giant 
                          Hebrew National hot dog was seen squirting its own 
                          forehead with ketchup after giving itself eyebrows made 
                          of ketchup and mustard. Then today in Vancouver, British 
                          Columbia, a 
                          giant order of french fries was spotted consuming 
                          itself openly in public, causing panicked parents to 
                          to flee with their terrified children in tow. Local 
                          authorities are also keeping an eye on a giant 
                          inflatable cheeseburger they fear is in danger of 
                          coming alive and attempting to eat itself.

                          makes chicken soup from chicken shit
 Defying 
                          an age-old adage, Rev. Smith today made a bowl of chicken 
                          soup entirely out of chicken shit. 
                          "I'm not recommending you try it," explained 
                          Smith, whose success comes after countless failed attempt 
                          over the past several years, "hell, it's probably 
                          the worst tasting chicken soup ever made. But the fact 
                          is I have once again accomplished what they said could 
                          not be done." Smith celebrated his victory by having 
                          some cake and eating it too.
