vomiting fountain1. Microsoft. IE8 ad features projectile vomiting. Finally, an accurate portrayal of how people feel about their products.

2. Psystar. Mac clone maker returns with new product. Apple lawyers sharpen knives, prepare barbecue, order gross of A1 sauce.

3. Scottish sheep. Steadily shrinking from global warming, say scientists; not from trying to hide from randy men in kilts.

4. ASCAP. Seeks royalties for ringtones as “public performance.” We sing in the shower, too, but that doesn’t make us Pavarotti.

5. Obama Admin. Starts doling out $4 billion broadband stimulus. Boy we could sure use some stimulating right about now, yessiree.
