October 2001

1. Rock group Anthrax sees sales slip. Changes name to Cipro.

2. Taliban realizes anti-aircraft artillery is useless and obsolete. Switches to new weapon called bow and arrow.

3. Osama bin Laden killed by U.S. commandos. Spends rest of eternity rotting in hell, plotting terrorist attack on the Pearly Gates.

4. Mariah Carey discovers dieting and psychotherapy. Gains 100 pounds but does not flip out. Hey, one out of two ain't bad.
