Python Swallows Alligator And Bursts
HEARD the one about the 6-foot (1.8m) alligator and a 13-foot (3.9m) python?
They are out walking along the Florida swamps. The python tries to swallow the alligator whole.
Success.
And then – pop – the python bursts.
Should have got a better gastric band…

Obama Takes A Room At Bin Laden’s Ministry Of Peace
NOW Obama is our president elect, the rosy-fingered dawn of a new era in world affairs is upon us.
The world is changed forever. Now a goat farmer in Kenya can say that he can be whatever he wants. An Hawaiian can be King. A small child whose name ends in vowel can have hope. A half-white man can be cheered by Black Panthers.
And now it comes to pass that Obama can be at all places at all times. Thanks to the internets, Obama can truly be the world president.
As the Huffington Post reports:
President-elect Obama’s office gave the media a new way to present him as Franklin Roosevelt 2.0 by announcing Friday that it will be posting weekly addresses – fireside chats for the web generation – on YouTube.
A weekly address for the world as part of the “digital, transparent presidency”. How we will sit glued to the screen as Obama speak unto us.
Only one other leader has harnessed the power of the web in such a fashion, and he lives in a cave in Afghanistan.

Update: Yasser Barack Guardian
UPDATE: It’s not Ros Taylor’s baby. She tells us that she has not given birth to a new hope yet and is but four months into her pregnancy.
Ros has yet to put her name down for any baby names. Indeed, before doing so she may like to consult with Laurence Y Payg, an expert in such matters.
Jemima Kiss points out our error in not investigating her twitter annoucement.
So whose little Barack is it? He does exist, right?

Chickens Killed By Inflatable Jamie Oliver Balloon
“AS soon as the gas is released to raise the balloon they go absolutely crazy.
“It is absolute chaos, when they go into anything and that causes the egg to explode inside them.
“The fragments of the egg and its contents then infect them and then they die from it – it’s a horrible way to go.”
No doubting that. Being killed by your unfertilised unborn is just about the one crime that had never featured on Anorak’s pages.
