From the ridiculous to the even more ridiculous:

Chelsea, Can We Start Bombing Now?

The Clinton administration is having a tough time scheduling an attack on Iraq, what with having to worry about moonlight, Muslim holy days, and parents' weekend at Stanford, according to a front-page story in the New York Times. It seems that the President and First Lady are planning to visit Stanford for parents' weekend, which runs from February 25 to March 1, and that this may get in the way of war. The next new moon providing maximum darkness for aircraft over the Middle East will occur on February 26. "Presidents do not usually start wars when they are away from Washington," observes the Times.

I have taken pigeons and tucked their head under a wing and spun them. They will sit on the ground for several minutes.

This seems perfectly reasonable behavior, really. I mean isn't that what YOU'D do if a creature about a hundred times bigger than you are tucked your head under your arm and spun you?
