1] Tips from the Peanut Gallery!

Once upon a time there was a girl called Kim. Kim promised to write a report about found money every week. "I promise to write a found money report every week," said Kim. One day, Kim let an entire month go by before filing a report. She rationalized this away by saying that if an entire month went by, the total would look even huger. "I'll rationalize it by saying that if I let an entire month go by, it'll seem even huger!", she rationalized. And it turns out that she was right. The end.

1] Tips from the Peanut Gallery!

*When trying to load the millions of bits of paper in your office onto the digital picture frame you bought on sale at London Drugs, make sure you find out how to reformat your pictures so they will play before you cut it to bits with your chainsaw arm and throw the thing out the window into the garden. To this end, obtain a Mac Guru (who you refer to as "Dear Free Tech Support") and let him talk you off the ledge. Enjoy the new picture frame freely!

2] Strange and/or Relevant Questions I have Received!

Q: Given that Sandy's money pot now weighs over 8 pounds, if you suffer from back strain from lifting the pot of found money, will it be covered by workwomen's compensation?

A: That depends entirely on the number and brand of chainsaw arms found on the jar. If the jar has two Stihl brand chainsaw arms and someone tries to lift it, knowing that the chainsaw arms will increase the weight of the jar, then the injured person is not eligible for Workman's Compensation.

3] General News!

1] Tips from the Peanut Gallery!

To remove suddenly-appearing strange children on bicycles from your back yard, call the landlords and have them evicted by making up stories about how they're stealing your asparagus. Erect a large, electrified fence. Next, confiscate the basketballs and bike helmets they leave lying around in your garden and refuse to give them back, thus earning yourself the noble title, "That Mean Old Lady Next Door". Next, play Barry Manilow's greatest hits on repeat from a CD player strategically pointed at the house. If all of that fails, try the old "Get off my lawn!" tactic. [Editor's note: only the last technique has actually been applied to the problem.]

Q: The Bat Boy from Baseline Burger Barn asks, "Why is this report so late again?"

A: Because, like, um.

Q: "Ah."

3] General News!

Described as a mysterious mix of chiroptera and human, Bat Boy is a regular character appearing in the pages of the veracity-challenged tabloid Weekly World News, as well as the subject of the theatrical production Bat Boy: The Musical. In 1992 the tabloid reported that a strange creature called the Bat Boy had been found in a cave in the mountains of West Virginia. At the time he was described as being three or four years old, with fangs, a bald head, "enormous amber eyes" and ears "like satellite dishes." Since then Bat Boy has appeared many times in the pages of the Weekly World News, most recently as a thorn in the side of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Bat Boy's popularity helped launch a musical, which debuted off-Broadway in 2001 and has been described as a cross between My Fair Lady andThe Rocky Horror Picture Show.

How to Build an Ark! 

In case you need to build one, here are the instructions:

Obtain a large quantity of gopherwood. If gopherwood is not available, substitute common cypress, noted in the Mediterranean for its resistance to rotting. Begin gathering animals to carry in the ark. Start with pack animals, which will make it easier to haul in the necessary gopherwood. Prepare a framework on which to attach the outer hull, planking and decking. Framework dimensions are 300 cubits (450 feet) long by 50 cubits (75 feet) wide by 30 cubits (45 feet) high. Attach planking for the outer hull, placing a door in the side to make it easier to load the animals into the ark. Also attach decking and two subdecks, dividing the ark into upper, middle and lower levels. Divide the floors into rooms to keep the animals separated and provide separate space for the human crew. Secure the galley so that hungry animals can't break in and eat more than their share. Make a roofed cabin for the upper deck and finish the ark to within a cubit (18 inches) from the top. Coat the hull inside and out with pitch to seal any gaps between the planks and protect the wood. Apply several coats, as the ark must withstand forty days and nights of rain, plus another 110 days of ocean travel and another 7 months of sitting in mud on Mount Ararat.


2] Strange and/or Relevant Questions I have Received!

Q: Karen from Calgary asks, "how much does the human head weigh?"

A: With or without a Chainsaw Arm?

Q: "With."

A: Okay, well, an adult human cadaver head cut off around vertebra C3, with no hair, weighs somewhere between 4.5 and 5 kg, constituting around 8% of the whole body mass. BUT with a chainsaw arm attached to vertebra C3, it would weigh approximately 14 kg, depending on the brand of chainsaw one attached to it. Since the Terminator's head weighs 20 kg all on its own, if one added a chainsaw arm to the Terminator's head (again, depending on the brand of chainsaw and given the head was from the T-800 series and not the T-1000 series as the T-1000 series' heads are lighter with less bad acting and big sunglasses), the total weight would be between 24 and 30 kg. We hope that answers your question, Karen from Calgary, and thanks for writing!

Weekly Found Money Report Late Because of Influence of Space Alien Bat Boy!

The Weekly Found Money Report is late this week, we can reveal, because of the evil influence of the Space Alien Bat Boy. Sources say that the Bat Boy has been influencing the cosmos by wearing a tinfoil hat and channelling his Space Alien Energies into making the Weekly Found Money Report late. "The Weekly Found Money Report is late this week," said the source, "because the Space Alien Bat Boy has fashioned a tinfoil hat which reportedly channels his Space Alien Energies." The source added that the Bat boy Energies were responsible for the lateness of this week's report and that Kimmy was not to be blamed in any way for the lateness of the Report. "We must be careful not to blame Kimmy in any way for not getting her poop in a group and getting the Report out on time. The Space Alien Bat Boy has been using his tinfoil hat to channel his Space Alien Bat Boy Energies into making the Report late."
