ON THE DISCOVERY OF CANUS INSECTIVORUS
This paper explores the recent discovery of fossils believed to be derived from a species known as Canus Insectivorus, colloquially known as Bug Wolves. These animals reportedly existed for approximately ten years during the Pleistocene Era around 16,000 B.C. The fossils were uncovered in the western portion of what is now the United States during a routine dig conducted by Prof. Magnus Trelviksson, a zooarcheologist. Trelviksson’s team was investigating human dwellings when they discovered small bones. “We found Canus Insectivorus bones in the general vicinity of early dwellings,” Trelviksson stated, adding that this was proof that they were domesticated.

Why Aliens Would Do Better to Avoid Earth in 2025
Landing at Mar-a-Lago Imagine this: It's a balmy September evening in 2025, and a fleet of shimmering saucers slices through the twilight over Mar-a-Lago, their hulls humming with the promise of universal truths. Out step the extraterrestrials—slender, luminous figures with eyes like nebulae, bearing gifts of quantum drives and peace accords etched in starlight. They're here for first contact, a grand unification of worlds. But before they can utter a telepathic "Greetings, carbon-based friends," a golf cart screeches to a halt. Enter President Donald J. Trump, resplendent in a red MAGA cap, flanked by Secret Service agents clutching NDAs. "Beautiful ships, folks—tremendous. But what's the deal? You got warp tech? Fusion reactors? Because America First means we get the best terms, or you're outta here. You're fired!"

The Secret Lives of Garden Gnomes: What They’re Really Doing When You’re Asleep

BREAKING: Nation’s Grandmas Unite, Declare War on “Unsatisfyingly Thin” Restaurant Napkins
A Crisis at the Dinner Table For decades, Americans have tolerated flimsy restaurant napkins that disintegrate at the first sight of soup, shred beneath the weight of barbecue sauce, and provide less absorbency than a damp Kleenex. But no more.

A Tribute to Polish Vodka - An historical treatise and sober analysis
I bought a bottle of Polish vodka a while back, and very tasty it was too. It was called Zubrowka, a genuine Polish vodka, distilled from rye, flavoured with bison grass and apparently a result of a tradition going back to the 14th century.

Great Hollywood Heist Movies. Re-Heat:The Sequel
*Spoiler alert : Contains plot details and lunacy. Not considered suitable for vegetarians. The long-awaited sequel to Michael Mann's celebrated thriller 'Heat' was less well received than its predecessor when it was released in 2009. Nevertheless it has rapidly become a cult classic amongst idiots and intellectuals alike but especially for those in the American food industry.
