Doofus Chilean Miner Stuck Down There Again
A local robot is not programmed for that, but whatever, 54 Iraqi civilians die in not our problem anymore, and the U.S. adds 4 million new jobs, but in St. Louis. It's the week of November 28th, 2011.
A doofus Chilean miner

This week badly shaken
researchers

consuming the 400 pound feline
has biologists scrambling
to determine the new
predator-prey connections
between the planet's billions
of organisms.
We seem to be experiencing
some sort
of cross-species dietary
free-for-all.
Scientists say that the killing
of the healthy, full-grown lion
by a typical osprey specimen

any form of rape
is more than enough reason
to directly contact the police.
