BELCOURT, N.D. - A young scientist says cat drool appears to be cleaner than that of dogs. Lacey Lafromboise earned a trip to the Native American Science Fair in Albuquerque, N.M. by proving that her two dogs have more bacteria in their mouths than her two cats.
Lacey said she got the idea for the study while one of her dogs was licking her face.
Know Thy Enemy: Canada
Canada always seemed to be too inconsequential to be an enemy, but I sent my crack research staff to find out what they can about Canada to see for sure if our neighbor to the north can be trusted.
FUN FACTS ABOUT CANADA
* Canada was originally populated by peoples loyal to Britain and dumb people who just got lost.
* Canada is still technically owned by England and has to dance for them when commanded.
* That happens usually three times a year.
* The border between U.S. and Canada is the longest unprotected border in the world. There are plans to mine it, set up video cameras all along it, and not tell Canada for a new Fox special called When Americans Are Bastards.
* It is rumored Canada has its own military. Their most powerful weapon is the telephone with which they can call America and say, "Help! We're being invaded, eh!"
* Canadians are almost as genetically similar to humans as the chimpanzee.
* Was originally called Cana, but, since everyone there said, "I live in Cana, duuuuh," the name Canada eventually stuck.
* For the same reasons, it will eventually be known as Canadada.
* Their national symbol is the most evil of leafs, the Maple Leaf, a.k.a. Satan's Palm.
* In a fight between Aquaman and a maple leaf... actually, a maple leaf is even too lame for Aquaman. Our national symbol, the bald eagle, would whup Aquaman's ass, though.
* Canadians pretend to be peaceful, but more Canadians are murdered in Canada every year than any other country.
* Canada modeled their currency after ours just to annoy us when we accidentally get useless Canadian trinkets in change instead of hard American currency.
* Canada has a picture of a queen on their money to show their contempt for democracy.
* A large minority of Canadians speak French, and they boss around the rest of the Canadians. Bossed around by French-speaking people - that's so pathetic I can't even imagine it.
* Canadians think they are superior to Americans. The rational basis for this is unknown.
* Canada holds up a sham democracy to try and be accepted by the civilized world, but in fact all real decisions are made by their moose overlord.
* It's a myth that the normal way a Canadian says "about" is so that it rhymes with "boot". It just happens that a lot of Canadians are retarded.
* The northern area of Canada is technically God-forsaken. If anyone there has a prayer, he or she first has to mail it to an American priest for God to hear it.
* Most of the prayers involve hockey and are promptly ignored.
* If a Canadian ever tries to express an opinion about America, hit him on the head with a rolled up newspaper while shouting, "No!" You have to catch them in the act or they'll never learn.
* Canada has gone its entire history without doing anything of note, something almost unheard of for a country its size.
* Canada has become an entry point for terrorist which has caused Canada's boring index to decrease slightly.
* Canada doesn't have all the beliefs in liberty and freedom of speech that we have. So, if you have to go to Canada, make sure to bring a gun to help them recognize.
* Canada is so defective that it loses gravity for six hours every month.
* Canada has no known industry. It's believed all their income comes from sales of syrup and hockey tickets.
* Canadians have universal healthcare. The way they afford it is making people wait so long that most die before seeing a doctor.
* Canadians are completely harmless, but don't assume someone who is wearing a hockey mask is Canadian. The people at Crystal Lake made that mistake and, well, it was messy.
* Canadians don't have any nuclear missiles because we decided they are not mature enough for them. Maybe when they’re older.
* Canadians have national gun registration. While solving no crime, the excessive amount of money the initiative has taken has foiled Canada's evil schemes to make mutant snow monkeys.
* If ever attacked by a Canadian... well... beat the crap out of him. What? You can't take a Canadian? What kind of pansy are you?
* This list would be classified as a hate crime in Canada.
* Actually, most Canadians who read this list would just say, "Eh?"
'Jews Killed Jesus' Sign Causing Controversy
DENVER -- A billboard unveiled on Ash Wednesday, the same day that a controversial movie depicting the last hours of Jesus Christ premiered, is sparking criticism from people of all faiths.
The large-size outdoor marquee, which sits on the property of the Lovingway United Pentecostal Church says, "Jews Killed The Lord Jesus" and the word "Settled!"
"It's settled," said Maurice Gorden, Loveway pastor. "The word of God is the final word."

ONTARIO, Oregon -- Ten states employ inmates in for-profit call centers. Inmates are paid between 12 cents and $5.69 an hour.
Perry Johnson had intended to move to India. But the company chose instead to open inside the Snake River Correctional Institution.
The center's opening followed a year-long effort by the Oregon Department of Corrections to recruit businesses that would otherwise move offshore, and echoes a national trend among state and federal prisons to recruit such companies.
"This is a niche where the prison industry could really help the U.S. economy."
"It's like bringing little islands of the Third World right here to the heartland of America."

Jews brace for new wave of anti-Semitic sentiment
| |||
It's been two decades since white supremacists murdered a Jewish talk-show host in his Denver driveway; a quarter-century since the Klan marched on an Orthodox synagogue here.
Nonetheless, the Ash Wednesday release of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" makes some in the area's Jewish community wary.
Those fears were heightened Wednesday when the Lovingway United Pentacostal Church posted a billboard along South Colorado Boulevard proclaiming, "Jews killed the Lord Jesus ... Settled."
After complaints of anti-Semitism, Gibson reportedly removed the English subtitles from the scene in his movie where, as recounted in Matthew 27:25, the high priest Caiaphas makes his much-debated pronouncement: "His blood be upon us and our children."
Is love a "chemical addiction" between people?
Scientists are discovering that animals -- and people -- become "addicted" to each other through a process of sexual imprinting, mediated by the brain's reward system, and that genetics and neurochemistry cause people to love, lust, form attachments, develop fetishes, be promiscuous or loyal, and a lot more. At the center of the story are two chemicals -- oxytocin and vasopressin. Both excite the reward center of the brain, and the amount of each in your brain is genetically determined. All the world's monogamous animals -- that's 3%, including humans --- have them. The 97% of nonmonogamous animals don't have them. Read the full story in the Economist:

Many of you remember the "Amber Alert Hoax."
Two teenagers faked an abduction to avoid going to church.
But you may not have heard that one of the young teens wanted to escape 'The Door,' a church with a heated history.
A 5-year-old girl spoke out about the pressure.
She came home after visitation with her father and said a pastor dressed as the devil and made her put her hands in a bucket of blood with a heart inside.
The pastor, Dan Mazon of Prescott Arizona, said the blood was fake, but admitted trying to scare the 5-year-old from sex and drugs.
Mazon said, "That's the problem with this generation that does not understand fear."

A U.S. Senate report reveals Ford Motor's involvement in Nazi Germany's war efforts, for which CEO Henry Ford received the Grand Cross of the German Eagle from Adolf Hitler himself. After the war, the car company was paid nearly $1M reparation by the U.S. government to compensate for one of its plants that was bombed within the Reich.

| New book will show off Norwegian penis variety |
A Norwegian sexologist is compiling a book to show off the variety of his countrymens' penises.
Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad photographed dozens of men in Oslo and Grimstad to illustrate his book.
Mr Benestad, a doctor and a well known transvestite, says the book will feature 80 to 100 photographs of penises.
"Heterosexual men have no one to compare their penises with," he said.
