They've Trapped a Rainbow

05/28/2012 1:10 PM

This is horrible: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120525103920.htm

Scientists have trapped a rainbow. Somewhere, a unicorn is crying!

Why would they want to?

I would take a friendly colorful good witch and a bunch of happy midgets over any black and white dirt farm any day!

Don't get me started on what I would train the flying monkeys to do!

Well, I didn't want to get started on their educational system....

Scaled to equal size, Kansas is actually flatter than a pancake, which is boring.

I think the flying monkeys have taken over most of the teachers' unions here in the US.

One can hide an elephant on a pool table by dressing it in green pajamas instead of an invisibility cloak.

Did you ever see an elephant on a pool table?...works pretty good.
