February 2000 Will Have 30 Days

There are some number of seconds that are accumulated every day which make up to become an extra day once in every four years and that is why we have the leap year. In the same manner there are some number of seconds which are accumulated from the leap years which form to become an extra day once in every 400 years and that is why in the year 2000,there will be a February 30, 2000. So the child born on that day will never be able to celebrate his/her birthday until February 30, 2400.

The computer industry is talking about the Y2K problem and now with the February 30 problem, all the electronic products with calendars will be dumb. It is a new threat to the entire world. what will we call the year when February has 30 days?


Needles in Phone Slots

Drug users are now taking their used needles and putting them into the coin return slots in public telephones. People are putting their fingers in to recover coins or just check if anyone left change. They are getting stuck by these needles and infected with hepatitis, HIV and other diseases.


Pregnant Roach at Taco Bell

The next day it was a little worse so she went to her doctor. he said she was just having an allergic reaction to something and gave her some cream to rub on her jaw to help.

After a couple of days the swelling had just gotten worse and she could hardly move her jaw. She went back to her doctor to see what was wrong. Her doctor had no idea so he started to run some test. They scrubbed out the inside of her mouth to get tissue samples and they also took some saliva samples. Well, they found out what was wrong.

Apparently her chicken soft taco had a pregnant roach in it!!!! The eggs then somehow got into her saliva glands and, well, she was incubating them. They had to remove a couple layers of her inner mouth to get all the eggs out. If they hadn't of figured out what was going on the eggs would have hatched inside the lining of her mouth!!!!!!!!!!

She's suing Taco Bell!

Yo quiero una cucaracha!!!!!
