Jokes: knocked-up teens, funky bacteria, and Kim Jong-Il

GLOUCESTER, Mass. - Schools in the Massachusetts city where girls reportedly made a "pregnancy pact" will allow contraceptives to be distributed - with parental consent.

Or, as it will be in another 4 months, grandparental consent.


A previously unknown arsenic-loving bacteria discovered deep in a former mine may provide a way to keep one the toxic mine sites from poisoning lakes and river systems.

That’s bittersweet, to me, because anytime that I’ve encountered bacteria from miners, well, I had to take antibiotics.


SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is vetoing a bill to fine motorists $35 for sharing the driver's seat with lapdogs or other animals. Republican Assemblyman Bill Maze introduced the bill, saying the practice is distracting.

Though technically, if the “lapdogs” are really distracting, they'll become “windshield dogs”.


The US and South Korean governments are alleging that Kim Jong Il has suffered a stroke, but North Korea maintains that recently released pictures prove he’s looking healthy and normal.

The US government does concede that in the case of Kim Jong Il, ‘normal-looking’ is relative.
