World News is Funny?

If Wait wait don't tell me can find funny stuff in the news so can we! Today I ran across two stories with funny angles on BBC News.

The first is about a woman who died while scuba diving(no that's not the funny part). While she was lying on the seabed another man on vacation just happened to be posing for a picture while a freaked out instructor swam to help the woman. How terrible would it be if you took a vacation picture and later realized a dead person was in it?

The second funny news article is about a Priest who published a sex guide for married couples. If you look closely at the caption of the picture you'll see this, "Critics question the competency of a celibate monk to write about sex". So will you take tips on spicing up your sex life from a virgin?

The Onion

Last Few Republican Senators Form Roman Tortoise

I don't doubt that you've all already heard of the Onion before, but here are some little known parts. The picture above was from their the news in photos section. Another part I've been enjoying is the daily overview of Obama's First 100 Days in office which has just now been finished. They also have a very good short daily podcast that you can get on itunes or you can listen on their website.

The english are coming!

These fine gentlemen are Hamish and Andy (don't know which is which). They have a radio show in Australia (yeah not quite British), but we can get it via podcast here. They do usual radio talk stuff, but so far I rarely stop laughing. They've covered such news as why does the space station need a gps. What would their global position be? Not on it? You can get them by searching on itunes or at their website(just chose a location, doesn't matter).



Something actual from England now. Friday Night Comedy from BBC4 is literally the funniest thing my ears have come in contact with in months. If you're going to give anything a chance from this website, please make it this. I promise they're more entertaining then the spice girls. Again you can find this podcast via itunes or here.
