Global Worming

The spread of global worming has not been a total success for the worms, apparently. A spokesperson for WORMSAREUS, Wobbleworm (Wobby) said that sudden increases in the normal population jeopardise long term worm survival. “You get big surges in population and the food needed for expansion just can’t keep up...” BREAKING NEWS: the network wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused by this spelling mistake. An over-zealous young reporter Quade Rugby admitted today that he created the Wobbleworm to amuse his children and it just “slipped into the story on Global Worming”. He admits he was supposed to write a story on Global Warming but that was “too boring” . Quade has been praised for his initiative and promoted to Senior Editor.

Town Planners Responsible For Obesity: Conference Found

A Conference on Obesity blames Town Planners for levels of obesity in communities. There are now larger houses, fewer playgrounds, footpaths and trees. In some places there are no trees! Mc Mansions at Shellharbour NSW is a prime example.
Town planners have decided to right their planning bumbles by restricting height and width of doorways in all new house s. The new theory is that people eat to fill the space, so if the space can be restricted people will not eat as much.
There are no plans to plant more trees or encourage outdoor activities yet. All McMansions will have to be retrofitted with smaller & narrower doorways by 2011

A local householder Fiona Palegreen, well known for her green credentials, has had to fight for her life when the worms from her worm farm, located in the kitchen, took over the house.
