Enuf is Enuf! Protesters Descend on Spelling Bee!

To make a point, I did not spell check this article!


Because we all know that there is nothing more imporant than proper spelling and grammer. (As evidenced by any Youtube video thread where 1/2 of the posts are people correcting other peoples spelling)


But in Washington, they don't believe in proper spelling. They want sensical spelling!


"Our alphabet has 425-plus ways of putting words together in illogical ways," says one of the protestors.


Representing the American Literacy Council and the London-based Spelling Society they arrived at the National Spelling Bee at the Grand Hyatt, some dressed
in full-length black and yellow bee costumes.


Simplify simplify simplify! Is their message.


Their logo, "Enuf is enuf. Enough is too much."


According to them words such as "fruit" should be changed to "froot", "slow" to "slo", and "heifer" to "hefer".


So what is the point of this all I wonder. Are they just really poor spellers and want to change the world to match their shortfalls? Do they just have too much time on their hands? Is this the first step in creating Orwells "Newspeak?"


If they complain about this, maybe they should try to learn Chinese. Their heads just might explode!

Pregnancy Test for Burgers - Weird News

Scientist in Kazakhstan have a test now that instantly detects if there is holy pig in their food.

Some chefs cheat try to save money and secretly put pork in dishes. Since eating pork is forbidden by Islam and Kazakhstan is mostly Muslim, they've come up with this little test stick. It works like a pregnancy test by changing colour when it detects food molecules that are found only in pork.

They just cut off a bit of their beef patty, and drop them in a glass of water. Stir, shake, put the test in. In a few minutes, the stick changes colour and tells you if there's pork present or not.

If we weren't supposed to eat pork though, then why does bacon taste so darned good!

Lord Jesus Christ shall rise again...after being hit by a car - Weird News


Yea though I walk through the roads of Northhampton, I shall fear no Buicks, for thy crossing guard art with me. Thy stop sign and reflective vest comfort me.

A man named Lord Jesus Christ was hit by a car today at a crosswalk in downtown Northampton Massachusetts by a 20 year old driver.

The police have confirmed that his real name is, Lord Jesus Christ.

He was taken to the hospital for minor facial injuries.

Maybe he should just stick to walking on water.
