School Vehemently Denies Vampire Infestation

Posted by John Farrier in Odd News, Paranormal on March 30, 2009 at 11:40 am

The Boston Latin School, a private prep school, issued a press release in the hopes of quashing rumors that the school is infested with vampires:

“The headmaster believes that the outrageous rumors had reached a point where she had to say something to families to ensure that all students felt safe and respected,” said Chris Horan, School Department spokesman.

In my experience, when an authority figure denies that there is a problem, the problem has become much, much worse than feared.

Kids' Letters to Obama

Posted by Jill Harness in Baby & Kids, Politics on January 21, 2009 at 9:42 pm

McSweeney’s has a fantastic compilation of childrens’ letters to Obama. Some of them are so adorably fantastic. It seems to be kids between 5 and 12 mostly. Even if you don’t like Obama, you still can appreciate the innocence of their words.

Dear President Obama,

When you are president, don’t eat junk food. Junk food makes you fat. Your family shouldn’t eat junk food, either, because it is not healthy. Obama, you rock.

Dear President Obama, Are you going to be pictured on our money? How do you get in the White House? Do you like Abraham Lincoln? Do you have a big backyard? Martin Luther King Jr. had big fans. How many fans do you have? You could help us by giving us food. I am Luis Ramirez. I go to school at Mayberry. I like to play video games.
