10/9

1. Several countries in North American and Europe are now targeting pirates in Somalia. The reason? They want the pirates to give them loans. Some investment banks were trying to work with the pirates too, but the pirates wouldn’t do it. “We may be thieves,” said the pirates, “but we do have some scruples.”

2. The government has apparently been listening to the phone calls of Americans living abroad. However, the project didn’t get anywhere, because no one in the Bush Administration speaks any languages other than English.

3. Instead of getting a divorce, a couple in Cambodia have sawn their house in half. And as part of a three-hour ABC special, while they sawed through the house, in the middle stood David Blaine! Cheating death again!

4. The witnesses in Ted Steven’s corruption trial have included a senator from the Democrats, a sled dog racer, and, this is true, a man known as “Hobo Jim”. It was appropriate, because he and Stevens might be on the road together soon.

5. Next month, there is going to be a magazine cover showing Angelina Jolie breast-feeding. The subtitle is: “The second-luckiest males in America.”
