|  | | | |  Power Crisis Averted
The California power crisis was postponed for a month today thanks to a major earthquake near Seattle, WA.
Engineers at the PSE&G Piezo generating plant reported the quake, which generated 276 megawatts
at the San Francisco facility, created enough power to keep the lights on for approximately three weeks. "It was looking pretty dim" said William Neimer, plant engineer. "Washington State bails us out yet again". Todays quake was the first full scale use of the new generating technology and has revitalized the hopes for the harnessing of geologic power.

| | |  AKC Bans Miracle Grow
Dog breeders can thank their dung beetles for today's ruling by the AKC to disallow dogs raised on Miracle Grow from professional competition.
For most of the past 16 years, winners of the "Big Dog" competition have all been raised on a diet including Dr Scotts formulation of Miracle Grow. Complaints from breeders not using the food supplement had gone unheard until the PETA organization filed a complaint that the additive adversely affected dung beetles.
"It gives them indigestion" claimed Ellen Stu of PETA. "There is nothing worse than a dung beetle with indigestion". Nobody can argue with that. In cooperation with the AKC ruling, the formulation of Miracle Grow has been modified to make it sickening for dogs and more palatable for dung beetles. Test results on using the supplement on plants have grown way out of proportion. --Staff |
