ANONYMOUS PRESS: The highly anticipated First Annual Enlightened Rulers of the World Convention was canceled when none of the current leaders were found to fit the qualifications.
ANONYMOUS PRESS: March 1, 1657. Rouen, France: Michele Auberge d'Orange expired on this day after a lengthy illness brought on by a case of gout that caused his nose to fall off and his genitalia to contract inside his body and become septic. His passing went unnoticed for several months, owing to the fact that nobody liked to be around him because of his foul odor. This was saying a lot, since it is normally believed that bathing is injurious to personal health and people are restricted by the town mayor to bathe no more than twice a year to reduce the chance of satanic corruption.
ENGLISH PRESS: London: Lord Protector Cromwell has dispatched a fleet to the Indian Ocean to put down local insurgents and rebellions that have almost nothing to do with English security, but provide a nice excuse to screw around in somebody else's back yard for awhile. When asked about his justification, Lord Protector Cromwell replied in his usual deferential manner, "The World abhors a vacuum and who am I to oppose the World?"
