                          introduces the HamBurger™
 Looking 
                          for a way to distinguish itself from competitors and 
                          stay ahead of the game in the fast-food industry, McDonalds 
                          yesterday announced the introduction of a new menu item: 
                          a sandwich product it has dubbed the HamBurger™. 
                          "No national quick-service restaurant has ever 
                          served up something quite like this," said McDonalds 
                          spokesperson Arthur Shapp. A $20 million ad campaign 
                          will be rolling out in coming weeks to promote the exotic 
                          new sandwich which contains no beef or chicken products, 
                          but instead uses ham, a pork product. "It's a pretty 
                          wild concept, we admit," said Shapp, 
                          "but to get your mind around it, try this thought 
                          experiment: imagine a regular hamburger, but with ham. 
                          That's a HamBurger™." 
                          Stock in the McDonalds corporation has plummeted since 
                          yesterday's announcement.

 It 
                          sounds like a headline right off today's front pages, 
                          but it's not. It's actually 
                          the 
                          title of the latest update to Rev. Smith's Brick 
                          Testament website where three new illustrated stories 
                          have been put online today, further documenting the 
                          ancient Israelites' God-mandated ruthless slaughter 
                          of their neighboring peoples as recorded in the Bible's 
                          book of Joshua. It's heartwarming stuff, so grab a blanket, 
                          make yourself some hot chocolate, and then curl up next 
                          to the computer screen for some quality spiritual edutainment. 
                          Or just go watch some TV. Your call.

                          4:19 PM GMT"Landing 
                          strip" dubbed Pubic Fashion of the Year
 Carpet 
                          & Curtains magazine has named the "landing 
                          strip" the 2004 Pubic Fashion of the Year for women 
                          and girls. "It was a very tight race again this 
                          year between the strip and the full shave," said 
                          C&C magazine editor-in-chief Maxine Nevins. 
                          "Although you might see the full shave celebrated 
                          more in the media these days, we believe that regular 
                          working-class women of this country are sticking with 
                          the refined elegance of neatly trimmed one to one-and-a-half 
                          inch vertical line of hair covering their pubis." 
                          Pubic hairstyling, like most fashion trends, notes Nevins, 
                          are pendulous in nature. She predicts that the "full 
                          bush" look, popular in the 60s and 70s will be 
                          back in style by 2012.
