linkUS Military Introduce Childbomber McChildbombface
April 18, 2016
AN online poll conducted by the US Air Force to name their newest MQ-1 Predator drone has resulted in the $4m aircraft being christened “Childbomber McChildbombface”, it has emerged.
The comical monicker was chosen ahead of the preferred names “Freedom Machine” and “Liberty Fire”, and moves made by the US AF to block the use of Childbomber McChildbombface were thwarted by a vicious online backlash.
The Childbomber McChildbombface fiasco mirrors the naming of the newest Royal Research Ship, which was saddled with “Boaty McBoatface” by hilarious people online.
“If they’re going to deploy this weapon overseas despite widespread criticism of the drone programme, then at least we should get to name it,” said one member of the Childbomber McChildbombface campaign.
“We wish we could have named it Nocollateralhumandamage McNocollateralhumandamageface, but like the drones themselves, that’s just not accurate”.
Childbomber McChildbombface is already operational in the Middle East, and so far has lived up to his name and then some.
SPOKANE RESIDENTS SPEND MORE MONEY ON CANNABIS THAN BREAD, WINE OR MILK
By Bernie Canter - Apr 13, 2016
In one Washington county, legal marijuana is the literally hottest thing since sliced bread.
Spokane, Washington, people spent more of their hard-earned cash on legal cannabis in 2015 than they did on bread, wine, or milk. The county reportedly spent a shade over $43 million according to data compiled by the state’s Liquor and Cannabis Board.
Those numbers translate to an average of $225.64 spent on marijuana per household in 2015. Conversely, beer barely beat out cannabis with $232.70 per household.
Thereafter, it was all Kush as wine sales averaged $154.85 per household, milk sales averaged $155.37 and bread sales averaged $109.71. Those figures come courtesy of the Census Bureau.
The big takeaway here is that as America becomes healthier and eschews liquor, fast food, and sugar for a healthier lifestyle, marijuana has cemented itself as part of that healthy lifestyle. And that’s only going up.
