In an effort to curb drug violence in Mexico, the government there is planning to ban toy guns.
Hey, guys, it's not the toy guns that are causing your problems.
But then again, Los Angeles banned toy guns in 1987, and I haven't heard stories of toy gun related violence from there in a long time.

I'M RICH!
In the US the biggest bank note you can have is $100. There are singles, fives, tens, twenties, fifties and hundreds. And that's it. There is no higher.
And then there's Zimbabwe, where the country is fighting runaway inflation. They're fighting it by printing more money. The country has just issued the $50 billion note. It's worth about $1.25 American, down $2.20 from last week and $3.30 the week before that.
A $50 billion note is enough to buy you three newspapers. The Herald newspaper is $15 billion a copy, up from $10 in August.

DOG BITES PRESIDENT
76-year-old former French President Jacque Chirac was mauled by his French Poodle named Sumo.
He's described as "clinically depressed" and is taking anti-depressants. That's the dog, not the president.
He was held in the hospital briefly but has now been allowed to return home.

BRITNEY LIVES!
Antonio Vazquez -- or Mexico's Grand Warlock, as he calls himself -- predicts that US troops will invade Mexico in 2009.
Keep in mind, this is the same Warlock who predicted that Britney Spears would die in 2008 and oil prices would remain stable.
(Actually, I do believe the U.S. will invade Mexico in the near future, but probably not this year. Maybe I'll explain in a future post.)

FIRE UP THE TREE
The Sheehan family lit their Christmas tree for the last time the other day. The tree caught fire and lit up the couch, rug, bookcase and drapes. The Sheehans say that next year they won't use real candles on their tree.
AND SO IT GOES
A suicide bomber in Dera Ishmail Khan, Afghanistan, killed five policemen who were investigating a suicide bombing in Dera Ishmail Khan, Afghanistan.
GOD KILLS ONE, SPARES OTHERS
A church roof collapse in Sao Paulo, Brazil, killed one and injured 35. It happened right after Sunday services at the Reborn in Christ church. Some parishioners said it was a miracle that more weren't killed.
But would it have been more of a miracle if one person hadn't died. Or if no one was injured? Or what about if the roof hadn't caved in the first place? Wouldn't that be a miracle, too?
There is no God.

DEATH AND ADULTRY
Iran executed, by stoning, two Iranians for trying to overthrow the Iranian government. Among other things, the men were convicted of adultry.
It's unclear how these insurgents were planning to adulterize the government, but you can never tell.
