Top Story...

The raging battle in the balkans continues to stalemate. Inside reports tell the SI that the tide will eventually slip Turkey's way because of the security it has on its other borders. Such a stalemate seems to indicate that neither of these two power hungry nations will come out victorious in the overall scheme of the game. The SI is hinting towards either a French or German solo.

Letters Section...

A letter to the editor:

Dear SI editor,

It seems to me that your have the biggest fan base of any paper world wide. Why is that? My friend says it is because you throw out the BS without giving a damn, but I won't believe him. I stand by my belief that you are run by a homosexual monkey named George. Yes, that must be it. For who else could do the wonders you have?

AB

Well AB, whatever that stands for, I can tell you one thing your wrong about, we don't have the biggest fan base world wide. Yet.

Curious Section...

2 + 2 = 3 in extreme cases.

The SI is speculated to be run under the control of a homosexual monkey named George.

Barry Bonds is on performance enhancing drugs.

M-Theory (a branch of String Theory) hints at an 11-dimensional universe.
