Schnook Chinook
Several US soldiers were injured yesterday when an Army CH-47 “Chinook” transport helicopter made a hard landing on difficult terrain and toppled onto its side, suffering extensive damage. The right landing gear apparently fell into a depression, causing the crash. The accident thus shows how important it is to treat depression at the earliest sign.

SeeUinHell Award for January, 2002: J. Clifford Baxter
Former Enron exec J. Clifford Baxter was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in his 2002 Mercedes. He made about $22 million selling his Enron stock since 1998. He was unhappy with Enron's questionable practices and resigned last May. Now the stock is virtually worthless and he's immune from questioning by Congress, and from prosecution. WEENIE! You've fucked up your family and friends for life! Ever think about giving some back to the employees your company screwed? I'll See You in Hell!

Asteroids Come Frighteningly Close to Earth
CNN.com - January 16, 2002
When it's an asteroid, 500,000 miles is too close. A crashing asteroid only 7 km wide would destroy all life on Earth. Have a nice day.
Artist's rendering of an asteroid crashing to Earth like a giant Crunch Berry into a Sea of Woe.

Pretzel Logic?
Millions of people regularly fall asleep on the couch eating pretzels and watching football. Only the president sustains injuries. Who put this guy in charge? Oh, that’s right, the Supreme Court.

Shocking Hijacker Video Revealed
The Maryland State Police today released a scandalous video of one of the 9/11 hijackers taken two days prior to the terrorist attack.
