Keep Your Eye on the Electric Sparrow
WC as Kato writes "Corbin Motors, the company that made the cute electric Sparrow car driven by Austin Powers in Goldmember, has gone into bankruptcy. SJ Mercury News has details of the dead bird..er Sparrow. Another electric car bites the dust!"

micheal tied CowboyNeal and me in his basement this morning and is using us as sex slaves! This should be obvious from a look at the front page. At 12:37PM he let me post a story but he was watching me and I had a buttplug.
Three years before the terrible events of September 11, 2001, a former Lieutenant colonel in the U.S airforce, Robert Bowman, who had flown 101 combat missions in Vietnam, and then became a Catholic bishop, commented on the terrorist bombings of the U.S embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. In an article in the National Catholic Reporter he wrote about the roots of terrorism:
We are not hated because we practice democracy, value freedom, or uphold human rights. We are hated because our government denies these things to people in third world countries whose resources are coverted by our multinational corporations. That hatred we have sown has come back to haunt us in the form of terrorism...Instead of sending our sons and daughters around the world to kill Arabs so we can have the oil under thier sand, we should send them to rebuilt their infrastructure, supply clean water, and feed starving children...
In short, we should do good instead of evil. Who would try to stop us? Who would hate us? Who would want to bomb us? That is the truth the American people need to hear.

With *real* stretch action!
I just got done reading another article about this exact same thing.
Check it out here.
There is a lot of stuff not covered in the article posted to slashdot.
Overrated doesn't receive metamoderation...
Nice try.

A sparrow decides that it is too hard a flight to go south in the winter and refuses to migrate when the other birds leave.
Winter sets in and finally gets so bad that even the sparrow realizes he needs to head south. But he is no sooner in flight than ice forms on his wings and he falls to the ground. There on the cold, hard ground he is freezing to death until a cow comes by and flops on him. The warm of the cow's droppings began to warm him up and he feels so good he jumps up and starts singing. The farm cat hears him and pulls him out of his messy condition, cleans him up and eats him! The morals of this story are:
[1] Not everybody who shits on you is your enemy.
[2] Not everybody who gets you out of shit is your friend.
[3] If, and when, you do get out of shit keep your mouth shut!
