Advanced WoodworkingSweet, sweet Time-Life books. They cover a million subjects, none of them relevant.

Mass MurderersGreat ChieftainsMagical Beasts

There are even a few highly sought-after editions, such as “Magical Beasts” from 1983 and “Baby Catapult” from 1975.

Time-Life stopped publishing the books in 1992 when several lawsuits arose from the book “Indoor Cookout” after 17 readers’ families died tragically.

Romanian Prostitutes Offer Discounts

In order to snuff out the influx of foreign prostitutes into Romania, local whores have banded together to offer discounts. Deals will range from 10% to 50%, depending on the size of the knife you hold to the hooker’s throat.

Romanian pimps have declared that they will not be footing the bill for the discounts. “They still owe us the same amount,” pimp leader Vaklov Smackov said. “If they try to shortchange us, blood will fill the streets.”

Reebok Recalling Iverson Toddler Shoes

A.I. almost got away with it. In his 2001 song, “Kill ‘Em All”, Iverson rapped that he would “Kill every baby in Philly somehow.”

Investigators say they were never quite sure how Iverson would begin his assault on the city’s children, but after his plot to use shoddy toddler shoes to choke babies, police say they were “not surprised” by Iverson’s tactics.
