I stayed away from the internet while on the ship last week, which also has the downside of not reading my favorite bloggers and keeping up with the news – especially the satirical news from The Onion. With that in mind, here are some of the headlines I missed. Which is your favorite?

I have to vote for the ’93 Taurus headline (but not the car). Yeah, big surprise, right?
Taking a vacation in your mind is just “Total Recall”, a fairly missable movie albeit with some nice scenes with Sharon Stone.
And here I thought your title was about a new movie version of The Avengers without Steed’s female counterpart……
John,
Of course I knew you would appreciate the ’93 Taurus headline. So here’s a video for you. Enjoy.
John…my thought on the post title exactly.
Bob,
Since you were also thinking of Emma Peel, see what I embedded in a comment to John. Thanks for visiting.
I love when you share these. It’s a tie:
Chicken Pox Lollipops Ineffective
Are Tests Biased Against Students Who Don’t Give A Shit?
John, I had the same thought on the title … Emma Peel rocks!
Frank, the “Obama Now Attempting to Get Each Word of Jobs Bill Passed Individually” headline made me laugh.
it’s like picking which one of my kids i love most. oh, wait! i only have one kid. this shouldn’t be this difficult.
My favorite is “Coal Lobby Warns Wind Farms May Blow Earth Off Orbit” because in today’s political climate it sounds ligit!
Obama Now Attempting to Get Each Word of Jobs Bill Passed Individually
Coal Lobby Warns Wind Farms May Blow Earth Off Orbit
Sadly these two are believable …
The coal lobby takes it in my opinion. If all them propellers on them wind farms got turned onto high, blowing this world off course could be a real possibility.
You avoided the Internet for a week? The idea terrifies me!

I rather like the question about school test being biased. My kids discovered right away that schools are only interested in educating suckups. They decided not to give a shit and low and behold they didn’t make the honor role.
Ralph … lotsa truth there …. especially realized by anyone with classroom experience. Thanks for visiting.
Thanks everyone for sharing your favorite. I’m with many who enjoy the Coal Lobby … then again I find a bit of enjoyment in each of them. After all, they were good enough for me to select!
