Teacher Skins Coyote in Class
_{A teacher who found a coyote on the road and skinned it in front of his students � potentially exposing them to rabies � was suspended without pay while two students underwent rabies vaccinations.

North Shore Technical High School carpentry teacher Miles Dowling, an amateur taxidermist, found the coyote on Route 24 in the Bridgewater on March 15 and decided to toss it in his pickup and show students how an animal is skinned, said superintendent Amy O'Malley.

He later brought students outside and skinned the animal, O'Malley said.

"Of course, this was not a school-sanctioned activity."}

What the hell does that have to do with carpentry ?
That's what I want to know.

The German architect of one of Saddam Hussein's main bunkers in Baghdad said on Friday the Iraqi leader can survive anything short of a direct hit with a nuclear bomb if he stays within its four-feet-thick walls.

"It could withstand the shock wave of a nuclear bomb the size of the Hiroshima one detonating 250 meters away," said Karl Esser, a security consultant who designed the bunker underneath Saddam's main presidential palace in Baghdad.

The palace bunker can accommodate 50 people and has two escape tunnels, one leading 200 meters to the Tigris river.

It was built in 1982 and 1983 by German firm Boswau & Knauer, which merged into what is now the Walter-Bau AG building group.

Esser said he had no qualms about having helped to protect a dictator likened to Hitler.
"It's not just one person getting protection, it's several people, it's the palace staff as well. I just see it as an achievement of bunker technology," said Esser.

ASS !

Internet Fount of Ideas for April Fool's Pranksters

Some examples :
Have a boss who loves his car? Swipe his keys and park the car on a different level in the garage to give him a bit of a scare.
Yeah, then go file for unemployment on April 2nd. Sheesh !

Is the library just a little too quiet? Drop a dollar and when someone bends over to pick it up, tear a piece of cloth behind him, so he thinks he ripped his pants.
Better make sure your target is a wimpy geek.

Now they're taking the time to give our soldiers a burial ?
Asked about the examination of the bodies now found near Nassiriya, Renuart said: "I can't tell you whether they were former POWs or POWs. I can't tell you whether they were soldiers ...who were killed in that engagement and subsequently buried."
"I can't tell you for sure that they were 507 (Company) soldiers. We have a mortuary affairs team that is on its way to the site," he said. "We will also approach it from the aspect to ensure there were no war crimes committed in their death."
I think if they're burying them, it's to cover up war crimes.
How are families supposed to have peace of mind, even if they fear their loved ones are gone ? Families of MIAs will
have hope their men will turn up.
Alive.
And here bodies are interred and if they're found, it's by chance.
Very Wrong.

Five die in car bombing.

The United States again pounded Baghdad from the air on Saturday and Iraq hit back with a car bomb attack that killed at least five people at a U.S. military checkpoint in the south.
The car bombing occurred after U.S. troops paused in their charge on Baghdad to strengthen supply lines against hit-and-run attacks by Iraqi militiamen loyal to President Saddam Hussein.

What I think would be a good idea :
Send in those rovers, those bomb disposal robots the police use, except with bombs strapped to them.
Lets see how many get through their check points...

Jay told me the Germans used dogs in WWII, starpped bombs on them, they were trained to get under tanks and blow them up. Morgan said they could use cockroaches ( as in best movie ever ! Fifth Element ), then for some strange reason mentioned elephants. As soon as he said the words he realised how absurd he just sounded and started giggling.
I asked him, " How the hell are you going to sneak in an elephant ? And how are they supposed to wedge themselves under a tank ? "

Reuters | Latest Financial News / Full News Coverage WHO Doctor Who Spotted New Killer Pneumonia Dies
Sat March 29, 2003 07:42 AM ET
GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organization doctor who first identified the fast-spreading pneumonia that has killed 54 people worldwide has himself died of the disease, the U.N. agency said on Saturday.
Carlo Urbani, 46, identified the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in a U.S. businessman admitted to hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam, where Urbani was based.
The virus, which has flu-like symptoms, has infected about 1,500 people.
"Because of his early detection of SARS, global surveillance was heightened and many new cases have been identified and isolated before they infected hospital staff," the WHO said in a statement.
WHO Director-General Gro Harlem Brundtland paid tribute to Urbani, who was married with three children.
"His life reminds us again of our true work in public health," she said.

Todays Funnies
Three blondes were walking through the woods when they came upon
a set of tracks.

"Looks like deer tracks", said one blonde.

"No, it looks like maybe a cow track," another blonde
suggested.

"Actually, I think they are just dog tracks," the third blonde
offered.

They were still arguing when the train hit them!
