RESEARCHERS SUSPECT THAT THE KING OF POP ACCOUNTED FOR OVER 80% OF THE COLLECTIVE IQ OF THE JACKSON SIX

Michael Jackson's brothers -- Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Randy, and Jackie -- will appear in a reality series debuting on the A&E network in December (no joke).

The Centers for Disease Control announced on Saturday that there is more than enough Swine Flu vaccine for the entire American population, and it's available immediately.

AFGHAN TERRORISTS FACE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS

Taliban leaders held an emergency meeting in Kabul on Tuesday in a frantic effort to remember what they're so pissed off about. "We know we hate everybody, especially women, but for the life of us we can't recall why," lamented Kefezzi al-Gnocchi, a spokesman for the group.

BOMBATHON '09 PROMISES TO BE BEST EVER

Over 3500 suicide bombers from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan will gather in Kabul in November for Bombathon '09, a two-day explosion fest to benefit widows and children of suicide bombers who will blow themselves up at Bombathon '09. "I hope to have many good people sponsor me," said Al-Bara del Monte, a soft-spoken 24-year-old father of three from Islamabad. "For every $100 you pledge, I will add two sticks of dynamite to my Boom-Boom Vest. I want my wife and children to be well taken of. I am going to detonate myself in an empty parking lot, so no one will be hurt except me. I represent a new generation of suicide bombers. We are not evil; we are just really, really stupid."

NARA HONORS GLENN BECK

NARA, the National Association for the Recognition of A**holes, has awarded FOX Network commentator Glenn Beck its 2009 Man of the Year Award. "Mr. Beck is richly deserving of this honor," announced NARA spokesman Gretchen Kaufman. "He thinks like an a**hole, he talks like an a**hole, and he has that sphincter-like physical appearance that only a true a**hole can achieve. The vote of the Governing Board was unanimous, and there's no reason to believe that Mr. Beck won't be voted our Man of the Year again in 2010. He is, quite simply, the quintessential a**hole."
