Starbucks Coffee's recent decision to
raise drink prices seems to mysteriously coincide with the
discovery that the U.S. Agriculture Department paid $1.1 billion
to more than 170,000
deceased farmers. Apparently, only the dead can now afford
going to Starbucks.
Consequently, Starbucks' logo was redesigned using the
Grateful Dead insignia (click thumbnail to enlarge).
Giant Jellyfish Discovered
Facing the dangers of the Thanksgiving
holiday, scientists report that many turkeys have adopted a
secret identity. One such example is the "Teacock"

is known for producing the sound of "Google, Google".
Likewise,
shark
hunting has driven certain species of sharks to utilize creative camouflage
techniques.
Among them, the most notorious is the "Land Shark",
who makes use of its stealthy appearance to sneak up on
unsuspecting victims at the beach (click thumbnail

Marsupial Elephants
Discovered in Australia
Responding to the rise in insurgent
activity throughout Afghanistan, the US Army plans to deploy a
new breed of weapon, specifically designed for the unique environment
of the Afghan mountains, code named the Sling-Goat
(click thumbnail on right to enlarge).
"This
is an autonomous, stealthy and highly adaptive weapon of grass
destruction" says General Oldmac Donald, who coordinates
the so-called "Silence of the Lambs" project.
If
proven successful, this weapon will
open the door for other farm animal based devices, such as the
RAM Launcher (click thumbnail to on left to enlarge).
Formula-1
Hospital
As hospitals nationwide struggle to speed up treatment
, the newly opened "Formula-1 Hospital" employs
former car racing pit crews, along with their equipment, to
perform speedy procedures and reduce its patients stay time (click thumbnail to

According
to hospital manager and former race driver, "Doctor
X", this enables the hospital to
combine
in one session two distinct medical procedures, such as C-section and Liposuction (now dubbed "Lipo-Section").
Special:
Mona Lisa to Star in a new Family Sitcom
A new family show, "LiseAnne", planned to air soon,
features no other than the Mona Lisa in the lead role, depicting
a raunchy yet witty mother of four (click thumbnail

The
idea for casting Mona Lisa as a motherly character followed a
recent discovery, revealing that she had just given birth
to her second son
before modeling for the famous painting.
Just
like Kim Basinger and Anna Nicole Smith, Mona has abandoned her
modeling career in favor of acting. She made her debut last
summer, when appearing in the controversial movie "The Da-Vinci Code",
and demonstrated her improvisation talent in some unscripted
scenes (click thumbnail on left to
