Tree falls on White House Grounds

I couldnt believe this was an actual news story but nevertheless I had to share http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060626/...MzBHNlYwM3MDM-

Come on AP, there has to be more important and interesting news stories out there than a damn tree falling down and doing 0 damage to the white house...

BUT...the question is, was there anyone around, and did it make a sound??

DA, you're getting to me-I blame you for that joke.

You've clearly been studying too many communications models.

It's too bad those White House interns don't have super double special weapons training. They could have chopped it down.

I think they do - maybe honeychile can fill us in on their training? She was both a ninja and a member of the Joint Chiefs, IIRC.

Well... I guess we can be thankful there isn't something WORSE to report. Like one of the articles on the frontpage of the Detroit Free Press today was about how a suburb of Detroit is officially banning animals like elephants and lions as pets, even though it's pretty obvious you shouldn't have them as a pet. Which at first I thought was stupid to have that on the front page, but really, I'm glad there wasn't something worse, I mean, journalists and editors do know what they're doing for the most part.

It's called an inside joke...and I bet you can guess which side of it you're on.
