GEORGIA SCHOOLS TO STOP TEACHING LAW OF GRAVITY
Murphy’s Law Could Be Next, District Warns

A suburban school district in Georgia has thrown itself into the vortex
of a legal controversy after deciding to stop teaching the law of
gravity as part of its science curriculum.

The Dunnsville Unified School District fired the first salvo in the
ongoing debate over the law of gravity last year when it mandated that
stickers be affixed to all science texts in the district’s schools
indicating that “the law of gravity is a theory, not a fact.”

District superintendent Charles Leverall said that initially it was not
Dunnsville’s plan to eliminate teaching the law of gravity altogether,
but merely to inform students that there were other equally plausible
explanations for why things fall down.

“The law of gravity supposedly began when Sir Isaac Newton saw an apple
fall off a tree,” Mr. Leverall said. “We think students are entitled to
know that another way an apple comes off a tree is if a talking serpent
tells a naked woman to take a bite from it.”

But after coming under fire for the stickers, Mr. Leverall said that the
district decided to stop teaching the law of gravity entirely, and was
now moving to ban the teaching of the law of supply and demand, as well
as Murphy’s Law.

“There’s absolutely no proof that Murphy’s Law is true, except maybe
Iraq,” said Mr. Leverall.

Elsewhere, CBS apologized for interrupting a broadcast of “CSI: New
York” last week to announce the death of Yasser Arafat, and promised to
interrupt the next death of a foreign leader with a broadcast of
“Everybody Loves Raymond.”

Actually there is a theory going around in these parts that there is no such
thing as gravity. The world just sucks.

But talk about inovative ideas...

The Tennessee football team has learned how to practice safe sex. They've
started painting an "X" on the sheep that kick.

I love it. You bailed me out, somebody in another group asked me for a
sheep joke and I told him mine were all too long. I'll pass this one on.

What kind of groups do you hang out in, anyway? Must be a strange bunch to
be swapping jokes about sheep. Baaaaaaaaad.

Ouch. It was a political thread and somebody mentioned sheep and asked
for sheep jokes. alt.sports.hockey.nhl.vanc-canucks to be exact.
