HP Set to Make Printing Green

Printer juggernaut Hewlett Packard unveiled a new line of green printers which the company claims will be many times more environmentally friendly than any printer currently available.  "Double sided printing, non-toxic ink, and other innovations have provided incremental environmental improvements over the years," explained HP spokesperson Kathleen Simpson.  "However, our new technology will enable an order of magnitude reduction in the carbon footprint of the of the printer industry."  At the core of the new green printers is a proprietary algorithm utilizing neural networks and fuzzy logic which only allows randomly selected print jobs to actually be printed.  All other print jobs will simply display a series of nonsensical error messages such as "CODE 5XY" or "RGB 1, 2 , 9."  In addition, a newly developed planetary gear system with precisely machined defects will produce frustratingly frequent paper jams.  The company says the new printer will be so exceedingly difficult to use, that the average user will either be unable to, or choose not to print; thereby by producing an environmental benefit that HP estimates will be the equivalent of removing 200 million cars from the roads.

NRA Introduces Open Carry for Nukes Bill

The National Rifle Association has sponsored legislation in the U.S. Senate that would allow open carry of tactical and strategic nuclear weapons with a yield of 1 megaton and less.  In a press briefing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated, "Our NRA overlords have indicated that the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a nuke, is a good guy with a nuke.  We have no reason to question that."  Moderate Senate Republicans have signaled concerns that 1 megatons was too high of a threshold, and that they would want to lower the maximum yield to 150 kilotons.  "We feel that limiting the size of personally owned nuclear weapons to 10 times the size of the Hiroshima bomb is a reasonable compromise," said Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine).  Wayne LaPierre of the NRA argued that limiting the size of open carry nukes would be as dangerous to the nation as limiting the size of assault rifle magazines, and would be a slippery slope to outright repeal of the Secon...

NASA to Explore Inner Space

Due to severe budgetary cutbacks and lack of a manned space vehicle following the end of the Space Shuttle program, NASA has announced that it plans to wind down exploration of outer space, and instead focus on inner space.  "There is no need to look externally, when all the answers can be found within," explained newly appointed NASA Director Mary Rainbow Sundance.  "Our mission will now change to focus on our inner space as individuals, and find the answers that have eluded us as a species for millennia.  We must look deep within, and transcend space and time to fully realize NASA's potential," she explained before dimming the lights at the press conference and playing new age music.  NASA will re-purpose its major facilities and equipment to save money in its new endeavors.  Launch pads will now be upgraded to hold giant incense sticks.  The famous  Hubble  telescope which has for years taken images of the far reaches of the universe, will now ...
