HANS BLIX LOCATES MISSING MATTER IN UNIVERSE
DOCTOR APOLOGIZES FOR TED KENNEDY MISDIAGNOSIS; MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR SUFFERING FROM RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME, NOT BRAIN TUMOR
BOSTON - The physician treating Senator Kennedy issued an apology last night for releasing what he called an “incorrect diagnosis” of the affliction that sent the Massachusetts Senator to the hospital this past weekend. “As it turns out, the Senator is not – I repeat, not – suffering from a malignant brain tumor,” said Dr. Larry Ronan, the Senator’s primary care doctor. “He’s just got a bad case of restless leg syndrome.” Dr. Ronan blamed the mistake on an intern in the neurology department of St. Eligius Hospital. “Apparently, this guy was looking at the results of the Senator’s MRI upside down.”

JOHN MCCAIN CAUGHT ON TAPE IN ROMANTIC EMBRACE WITH AUNT PENNY; AUTOMOBILE SPOKESWOMAN, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE LEAD PAPARAZZI ON HIGH-SPEED CHASE
(Pittsburgh ) - Arizona Senator John McCain, the presumptive nominee of the Republican party in this fall's presidential election, was caught on film in a passionate embrace with a woman who is not his wife. The tape was broadcast last night on all three networks. The woman in question, known to millions as Aunt Penny, matriarch of a famous Western Pennsylvania automobile dealership, was confronted by reporters as she left a downtown parking garage this morning.
A man with white hair appeared to be cowering behind the passenger seat in the back of the vehicle, but refused to speak when asked to identify himself. Aunt Penny refused to comment on the authenticity of the tape, saying only that she considered Senator McCain “a dear friend.” Aunt Penny did confirm that while the Senator languished in a North Vietnamese prison for more than five years, she faithfully sent him shipments of her famous elderberry preserves through the Red Cross. In his 2005 autobiography, the Senator credited those preserves as giving him the will to live.
When pressed for further details on the nature of their relationship, Aunt Penny hit the accelerator and pulled out, tires screeching. She was last seen heading for the Liberty Tubes, trailed by numerous paparazzi riding motorcycles. A person answering the phones at Kenny Ross and Sons Chevrolet, where Aunt Penny works, said the venerable pitchwoman “was out of the office today.” Her whereabouts remain unknown.

FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE CARBOLIC SMOKE BALL: May 15, 1938
(Vienna) - Adolph Hitler, Supreme Leader of the German people, was in town last night to attend a concert by The Von Trapp Family Singers. The Fuehrer mingled backstage with Captain Von Trapp and his new wife, Maria, before taking a seat front row center at the Klink Civic Center to enjoy the wholesome, Aryan melodies of Austria ’s newest teen song stylists. He was observed clapping his hands in rhythm with the music, as the Von Trapps performed all of their fabulous hits. At one point, ushers were summoned by annoyed patrons who requested that he tone down his behavior. Bush Makes Ultimate Sacrifice

MYANMAR JUNTA DIVERTS DISASTER RELIEF TO PITTSBURGH PIRATES
Pirates earmark relief monies for player development
YANGON, Myanmar - Myanmar's ruling junta ordered all of the relief monies and supplies that this cyclone ravaged country has received from around the world to be piled up in a giant warehouse and transported to the Pittsburgh Pirates "where they are most needed," said Gen. Than Shwe.
Gen. Shwe explained "this is a humanitarian issue of epic proportions. The Burmese people have only lived with our present catastrophe for less than two weeks. In contrast, the people of Pittsburgh, USA, have been suffering with theirs for 16 years."
Pirates owner Bob Nutting promised to earmark the foreign aid for player development but declined to say whether he would open the team's books to prove it.
MONET'S ONE REGRET: 'GARDEN AT SAINTE ADRESSE''
PARIS - Long lost letters from Claude Monet to his tailor, Jacques Mendelbaum, revealed that the French impressionist considered his landmark work Garden at Sainte Adresse to be "a disaster."
"I stood by my canvas for 16 hours straight," wrote Monet, "waiting in vain for the bastards cluttering up the scene to leave. They did not, so I was forced to paint the damn thing with them in it."
Monet revealed that he gave "serious consideration" to murdering "the broads with the umbrellas" who refused to move. He also "came perilously close" to "dumping" the seated man wearing a hat "into the briny deep where, to my delight, his testicles would be devoured by sharks."
When a sailboat dropped anchor directly in front of him, Monet could stand no more, so he climbed atop the railing overlooking the sea and challenged the captain to a fight to the death. "Do you know who I am? I'm Claude f***ing Monet, foremost artist in the world! And you -- and these f***ing bastards decked out in the expensive clothes -- are ruining my art!"
Art historians say that the letters provide important context that explains the handwritten note Monet scrawled on the backside of the canvas: "Do not display -- trash!"
