WAR!

UNITED RACES ORBITAL COMPLEX, MANTON VII: The 432nd meeting of the UNITED RACES General Assembly ended in violence after a practical joke went awry. Apparently the Creonti Ambassador placed a "Whoopee Cushion" on the seat of the Alskant Ambassador and the offensive sound angered the Salvene Ambassador who blamed the Human Ambassador for her "inability to control the noxious gasses of her festering bowels". The Alskant Ambassador, while laughing hysterically, told the Salvene Ambassador to "take a chill pill and pull the bug out of his anal orifice". Of course, the "Anal Orifice" is one of the most sacred of Salvene body parts, which is never spoken of directly. The furious Salvene Ambassador flew into a rage (that was not totally translatable but went something like "your mother is a cheeseball and I prodded her with my boomerang and she asked me for another piece of pie") which is Salvene "Declaration of War". Both Ambassadors stormed out of the conference and left the UR Orbital Complex. The Creonti Ambassador, devastated that his practical joke was the cause of the Salvene-Alskant War, quickly declare Peace Treaties with the other races and invited their Ambassadors to his ship for refreshments.


FEDERAL STATE UNIVERSITY

UNIVERSITY CITY, MANTON PRIME: The Chancellor of the Federal State University, SPEEF, today issued a statement condemning the lack of proper English skills in college students, "Incoming freshmen are ill prepared not only to write, but understand the English language", Placing blame squarely on the Federal Minister of Elementary Education Mike T. Smith, Chancellor Speef added, "Smith is a lazy-eyed goat who thinks a dangling participle is a part of the male anatomy". Minister Smith replied, "No, no, no, no, no, no , Chanceelore Speef is wrong. It iz not mi fawlt students are illegitamate, it iz the laks of funding".


STRANGE STARSHIP SIGN FROM GOD?

SECTOR 1677: A strange ship of alien design has begun to orbit the Thevian colony on Thevus-Nok in sector 1677. The strange ship has begun to transmit messages that can not be understood by planetary authorities. The only markings on the ship are the letters "V---GER" which means "HOLY ONE" in Thevian. Many Thevians have viewed this as a sign from God and spend their days praying to the ship in orbit.



STUPID HUMAN WARNING LABELS

These are TRUE warning labels on Human products for sale.

-On Boot's Children's cough medicine: Do not drive car or operate machinery. (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we just kept those 5-year-olds off those forklifts.)
-On a Korean kitchen knife: Warning keep out of children.(Or pets! What's for dinner?)
-On a Swedish chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals. (What is this, a home castration kit?)

THIS DAY IN HISTORY SEPTEMBER 25, 2023:
FIRST HUMAN ON MARS

It was this day nearly 1,000 years ago that Man first stepped on Mars. Col. Gus Maniakes, commanding officer of the PEGASUS SPACE PLANE landed what has been called the first Human Starship in the Caledonia region on Mars. Fatigued after the 9-month journey, Col. Maniakes' first words on Mars were, "Dude, this place totally sucks ass". That was Col. Maniakes' last space mission.
