Disturbing News
Al and Tipper Gore are splitting up after 40 years of marriage. Mrs. Gore said: “Oh, I was aware of those accusations that Al was a ‘tree hugger.’ I saw the smirks on people’s faces, and I heard the snickering behind my back. For the longest time I refused to believe it, but eventually the evidence became overwhelming: the bark burns on his chest, the sap on his hands, the leaves and twigs in his hair. I knew it was more than ‘just bringing in some firewood.’ ” - Laugh Lines

The Twit That Doesn't Twitter
For a while on Wednesday
afternoon, it looked like Bush had gone all out in upgrading his social media
cred by joining Twitter as well.
An account, @George_WBush — using the same Facebook photo and publishing the
same status updates — started generating buzz and thousands of followers. But

celebrity accounts are — and the name kept changing, from "George W. Bush" to
"George Bush Fans" to "Support George Bush."
David Almacy, a former Bush White House staffer who's now in digital public
relations,
tweeted
that it was "not an official account"

Hundreds of seemingly drunk parrots are falling out of trees and the sky in a northern Australian town, mystifying veterinary surgeons who are struggling to care for them. The brightly colored lorikeets are showing classic signs of drunkenness by losing all coordination and passing out, and then cowering in cages as they recover from their "hangovers". Photo/Greg Wood
