Now THAT’S funny
It’s good to have a sense of humor (or humour) about these things.

Read the whole thing
At first glance it seems like the Hungarian’s method of celebrating is roughly the same as remembering the Hindenburg by handing out matches to adults and hydrogen-filled balloons [...]
Tell me again why we’re a great country?
I’ll admit I have a bias when it comes to the whole mental illness thing (part of the reason I’ve started to blog is to keep me off a tall building with a high-powered rifle. I’m afraid of heights, after all).

At first I thought the Oxford City Council was running their own version of a terror alert right before an election, but it turns out they’re not up for re-election until 2007. Why not just go to an outdoor open-container law and be done with it? Piss off too many (non-collegiate) townfolk?
