Journalists in Al Qaeda Airlines hoax
Two journalists walked into a Romanian airport wearing Al Qaeda Airline uniforms and put fake bombs on planes.
An investigation has been launched after the pair entered Baneasa Airport in Bucharest dressed in hats and overalls marked “Al Qaeda Airlines”.
Alexandru Cautis and Catalin Prisacaru, from the Academia Catavencu newspaper, drove into a supposedly secure staff car park unchallenged.
They put fake bombs on passenger planes before going to a section of the airport which is used by the military.
They walked around a Hercules plane being prepared for take-off before leaving, again unchecked by anyone.
They said: “We heard from people who used this airport that the security is very lax and wanted to prove it. We could have had a bazooka in our car and as much dynamite as we wanted.”
The transport ministry has now started an investigation.
Yes, I should think they have.

Bear steals car
Police in New Jersey say a black bear is suspected of stealing a people carrier and taking it for a spin.
Officer Dave Dehard found the vehicle by the side of the road near Vernon Township, reports Court TV.
The passenger window had been broken and the door panels were damaged.
Police spokesman Det Sean Talt said: “He determined it was a bear because of all the bear hair inside.
Oy, the wonders of modern forensics…
“Apparently, the bear had also accidentally released the emergency brake and allowed the vehicle to roll away 40 or 50 feet away from the owner’s house.”
Police say the bear was probably attracted by sweets left inside the car.
“We’ve had animals break into houses,” Det Talt said. “But this is the first time we’ve ever had an animal take the car like that.”
Ah, but that’s not quite true is it, Detective?
Tampon And On And On…
Going to a Halloween party tonight and short of suitably unusual adornments? Then why not make a cute little tampon ghost, to hang from your ears or around your neck? .
Dip it down there if you dare, for added gruesome authenticity.
Because if there’s anything that squicks some men out, it’s periods. Those men must spend an awful lot of time feeling nauseous then. Menstruation is a fact of life: women can have up to five hundred periods in her lifetime of a length that can vary from 3 to 7 days or more. That’s a hell of a lot of tampons and a lot of detritus. Why not have fun with it? If you have a good ear for pitch, you could even make this surprisngly tuneful set of panpipes:,
A must for the planet-conscious, musical menstruator.
