Iran "Arrests" Squirrels

In the "Oh come on!" category, check this out.

Rumor has it that a moose whose name starts with Bull (no pun intended but I enjoy it nonetheless) put up bail money and then, with suspect Rocky in tow, skipped town. Now, Boris and Natasha are on the hunt.

Another rumor has it, according to what I can recall from a Wait Wait Don't Tell Me show, that Dick Cheney turned to the President and said: "Ok, we tried your idea. Now let me get back to work."

Machu Picchu Moved to Nepal?

The notion of Machu Picchu being in Nepal instead of Peru would have been a fun marketing ploy by the two countries seeking tourists. However, it was a silly error by a Nepalese employee who lost his job over the gaffe. The story is online at this site.

That story spurred me to Google some pictures of the famous location. I found some excellent pictures at Biker Tony's site. They're breathtaking.
