Mystery artist art work sells for record $300 million.....When asked why he paid such a exorbitant amount the high bidder said,"I thought it said Michelangelo, instead of Michael Angelo, which it turns out was the gallery selling the work."

Oddly enough if this guy was on the presidential election ballots as third choice he would probably still have a fair chance of winning.

It appears those people , in the original Star Trek series, that were white on the left side and others who were black on the left side finally settled their differences.

An independent presidential candidate. He's trying to appeal to the black and the white voters. The biggest problem on his mind is how to get the votes of the undecided voters that have colonized the moon. The ripples in space time from the black hole created by the LHC are a constant distraction. How can he deal with that when there are serious issues like whether to fund abortions with taxpayer money?

When you have the moon for a head, toy astronauts can reasonably leap towards the nearest source of light. In case they change their minds, return will prove tricky as the black-white striped camouflage will perfectly blend in with the surroundings.

This is the universe of the psychotic geek...wait...that's me coz I came up with it
