Globe and Mail Project: #61, SPEED SKATING COWS DISQUALIFIED FOR TOO MANY LEGS

(click on image to view larger version)

Despite being crowd favorites at the Olympic Oval, speed skating
cows have been disqualified from competition. "It is impossible
to establish a level playing field in this event, since the two
extra legs give the cows a distinct advantage", said one IOC official.
A spokesman from VANOC added that the cow-pies on the ice and the
excessive levels of methane gas in the oval were not in keeping
with the "green" mandate of these games.

Globe and Mail Project: #51, GENTLEMEN SCIENTISTS CONTINUE LUNAR MISSIONS

(click on image to view larger version)
Gentlemen scientists celebrated President
Obama's recent decision to end the lunar
space program, effectively putting Moon
missions back in the hands of the
do-it-yourselfer.
The first of these moon voyages, SPAM 1,
will launch from the Antrim Truckstop
parking lot shortly after Bingo on Saturday.
Comprised of a wringer washer, a CCM Targa
and a pot-belly stove, the spacecraft is
powered by BBQ starter fluid and charcoal
briquettes.

Today's collage is dedicated to Fred Morrison (the man in the space helmet), inventor of the Frisbee, who died this week at the age of 90.
