APPALACHIA - In a deal that sent shock waves through the Islamic jihadist world, the Afghanistan Taliban and the Pakistani Taliban have agreed to merge.
The giant Central Asian terror organization will now be known as AfPak.
According to Mullah Omar, Afpak CEO, the group will use a duck in all of its print and electronic advertising. The duck will not speak, however, as a duck that speaks is unIslamic and an abomination in the eyes of God.
RURAL WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA - All three members of the local Cooper family, husband and wife Harry, 38, and Helen, 35, and their daughter Karen, 16, were brutally dismembered by marauding zombies Saturday night after Mrs. Cooper shut off the floodlights atop the Coopers’ home in observance of Earth Hour.
Police say the floodlights were the only thing that deterred the zombies at night.
On Sunday morning, police loaded the remains of the Cooper family in three manila envelopes and mailed them to the Allegheny County Coroner’s office for autopsies. Police would not estimate when the autopsies would be performed. “You know how slow the mail can be,” said Sheriff “Mac” McClelland.

WASHINGTON – White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced yesterday that the President will no longer begin each sentence by asking people to “look.” Effective immediately, Mr. Obama will commence speaking with “now see here.”
The change was made after a series of discussions between White House linguistics assistants and Baron Von Frankenstein, an elderly gentleman purportedly of German descent who speaks with a flawless English accent. The Baron is the father of Dr. Henry Frankenstein, a pioneer in the exciting new field of life creation science.
“The Baron has used ’now see here’ in every sentence he has uttered for as long as anyone can remember,” said Gibbs. “And he has done so without rebuke, or ridicule.”
A spokesman for the software giant says Wagoner’s “extensive experience overseeing the creation of inferior products people only buy out of a strange sense of duty” makes him a perfect fit for the company

NEW ORLEANS – Rock and roll icon Antoine Dominique “Fats” Domino took to the New Orleans airwaves last night to excoriate the “copycats” in Fargo, North Dakota who “pilfered New Orleans’ idea” by evactuating a portion of the city after cracks were found in a levee holding back the rising Red River.
In August 2005, New Orleans ordered large scale evacuations after Hurricane Katrina’s storm surge caused the city’s levees to burst. Mr. Domino heroically acted as a human cork to plug one of the major breaches, all the while singing, “Ain’t that a shame?”
Last night on televistion, frothing at the mouth and shouting at the top of his lungs, Mr. Domino accused the Fargo residents who evacuated of “having zero originality — I mean none!” He said he found it “very telling” that the Fargo evacuation was prompted by “an alleged failure of a levee — hmm, I wonder where they got that idea?”
Mr. Domino said he is consulting with his lawyers to see if New Orleans has a legal cause of action against Fargo for theft of ideas. ”Allowing Fargo to evacuate is unacceptable because it trivializes what happened in New Orleans,” he said.

EAST LANSING - Michigan State men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo received an unusual, heartfelt gift during practice yesterday: the right arm of eighth year sophomore David Corbett.
“I told my fraternity brothers I’d give my right arm to see Michigan State beat Kansas, and I’m a man of my word,” said Corbett. “Besides, [the frat brothers] were happy to oblige.”
Corbett said a houseful of Delta Delta Taus beat him senseless and then cut his arm at the shoulder blade using a set of steak knives.
Michigan State plays Kansas in Indianapolis Friday evening. Izzo accepted the arm on behalf of his team.
“I’m just glad you didn’t say you’d give your right [testicle],” he joked.
PITTSBURGH – Noah Swayne, 30, blames President Barack Obama for his alcoholism.
Swayne says that he and his buddies play a game in which they each take a shot of Jack Daniels every time the President says the word “look.” During Tuesday night’s press conference, Mr. Obama said the word “look” 1,312 times.
Mr. Swayne, who has entered an alcohol rehabilitation program, fared better than his friend Bradleys Roadhouse, 28, who succumbed to alcohol poisoning halfway through the press event.
Obama: “Mr. Geithner was not spending money with sufficient rapidity or daring for my liking.”
PITTSBURGH - University of Pittsburgh Junior Noah Swayne, 20, reports that his success on the campus ”hook up” scene has soared ever since he let it be known that his make-out sessions are “environmentally friendly.”
“I tell every [woman] I meet that if they come back to my dorm room [for casual sex] or [to administer oral sex to Mr. Swayne], I insist that we promote a healthy environment for romance.”
“That means, turning off the lights and using scented candles instead. It also means lowering the thermostat in favor of lots and lots more cuddling and hand-holding. And it means lots and lots of sharing feelings.”
Treasury Secretary says “flying would be cool,” but that he “really want[s] to be able to fire missiles at CEOs I don’t like”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In his second televised prime-time press conference, President Obama told the American people last night that the best way to stimulate the economy would be to fight a World War on two fronts.
“Look, it worked so well in 1941, I think we should try it again.”
The President said his advisors have been working around the clock seeking alternative solutions to the nation’s crippling economic depression, and this is the remedy to which they invariably return.
PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA. – AIG insurance agent Ned Ryerson is the last of the failing company’s employees to refuse to repay the bonus he received.
Ryerson’s bonus was part of the $165 million bonus package paid to AIG employees that has drawn the ire of the American citizens and lawmakers alike.
Ryerson, known to associates as “Needlenose Ned,” told a reporter that he “earned every penny” of his bonus by selling record amounts of insurance to Pittsburgh television meteorologist Phil Connors on February 2 of this year.
CAMEROON - Pope Benedict XVI met with Tarzan today at the Apeman’s Kumbo tree house estate. The Papal audience was arranged after months of painstaking negotiations between the Vatican and Boy, Tarzan’s son.
“It is truly a pleasure for the earthly representative of the King of Kings to visit the home of the King of the Jungle,” said the Pope in his opening remarks.
A ceremonial gift exchange followed. The Pope presented Tarzan with an oil painting. Tarzan gave the Pope a loincloth embossed with the Papal seal.
Increase in seismic activity “likely represents the Earth’s anger” over bonus payments, says scientist Noah Swayne
“Without getting into specifics, we really don’t have to worry about whether the economic crisis will end, or about anything else for that matter.”
