    Apparently there's a bit of social unrest in Egypt after the government invested US$ 1.5 billion in a misjudged pyramid scheme. Police responded with violent force to protests, but eyewitnesses report the police forces attacked unarmed civilians first. Police are in denile about the incident. Women have voiced their concerns by burning their ras. A curfew has been put in place in Cairo and other major cities. Asked whether the armed forces would be called in, a government spokesperson said: "I am unsure at this time, but I sphinx so".

    BREAKING NEWS: Micheal Martin has been admitted to hospital with a back problem similar to Charlie Sheen's earlier in the week. Doctors have not ruled out the possibility of a Bertie Ahernia.
    Sorry.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
