LOL! Even the Onion wouldn’t think this was believable enough.
Rapper C Murder as changed his name to C Miller after realizing that his stage name hurt his chances to get a fair trial and out of jail.
His publicist Giovanni Melchiorre of Koch Records, said on Tuesday.
C-Murder whose real name is Corey Miller, was convicted in 2003 of second-degree murder for shooting a 16-year-old Steve Thomas to death outside a nightclub in January 2002.

Canada’s Population Clock

I apologize to the Canuck readers but this is the most boring population clock ever.
This growth is broken down into:
* One birth every one minute and 36 seconds
* One death every two minutes and 16 seconds
* A net migration gain of one person every 2 minutes and 46 seconds
At this rate, the population of Canada will reach 32,233,955 by July 1st, 2005.
Florida, The New Wild West

Even Texas is having problems keeping up with all the wacky hijinks going on in FL these days.
MIAMI (AFP) – Florida’s legislature has approved a bill that would give residents the right to open fire against anyone they perceive as a threat in public, instead of having to try to avoid a conflict as under prevailing law.
Outraged opponents say the law will encourage Floridians to open fire first and ask questions later, fostering a sort of statewide Wild West shootout mentality. Supporters argue that criminals will think twice if they believe they are likely to be promptly shot when they assault someone.
Republican Governor Jeb Bush, who has said he plans to sign the bill, says it is “a good, commonsense, anti-crime issue.”

Dennis is running for Pope. He even has a page telling where he stands on issues.
Meatless Fridays
The archaic rule prohibiting the consumption of meat on Fridays was initially enacted at the behest of the fishing industry. Although this edict has been scaled back in recent years to encompass only Lenten Fridays, it is time to do away with it altogether. The oceans are already overfished, and some modern diets rely on meat as an essential protein source. If I am elected, I vow to be an Atkins-friendly Pope.
