Scientists are trying to get permission to spill 1,200 litres of oil into the Arctic Ocean in order to test new ways to clean up oil spills.

I'm no genius, but that sounds counterintuitive to me. If there is already enough oil in the Arctic Ocean to warrant a test like this, don't you think that oil would be the way they could test their new theories?

I might be totally wrong, but it does sound kind of funny that they need to put more oil in the water just to test ways to get oil out of the water that's already there.

The best way to get out of jury duty is to make them believe that you really want to serve as a juror, but waste so much time asking random questions about the process that the lawyers don't want to keep you around.

I wonder what the lawyers said..."I'm sorry, Jesus, you are asking too many questions. We can't have you on the jury."

Another way is to legally change your name to Jesus Christ and wierd everyone out around you. Seriously, who changes their name to Jesus Christ? Sounds about as strange as changing your last name to Ochocinco

A city in Florida banned all murals from here on out because someone thought that an armrest on the mural to your right was a male sex organ.

This seems like quite an overreaction to something so minor. As soon as this issue was brought up to the artists, they painted over the armrest and made it look better, but the city still voted to ban all murals.

It's too bad that the artists put that much time and effort into this piece, only to be told they have to paint over it because of one little problem. Looks like a sweet mural to me.

"If Stephen Hawking were British, he would be dead" says Investor's Business Daily trying to discredit Obama's plan for nationalized health care.

Little did they know that Stephen Hawking is, in fact, British and alive. There's just no more room these days for investigative journalism is there?
