1. YOU CAN PUT YOUR RIFLES DOWN NOW, FRANCE. The First World War is finally coming to an end on Sunday, October 3, when Germany makes its final reparation payment, as stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles. Reparation payments would have been finished off much earlier if Adolph Hitler hadn’t been such a dick about it. The payment is the equivalent of 59 million pounds sterling.
2. IT TURNS OUT AL-QAIDA DOESN’T CARE MUCH FOR THAT EUROPE AT ALL, NO SIR. A terrorist plot to target European countries has been unmasked. “The threat is very real,” said someone anonymous, which is weird, because if the threat is real, why would the person attesting to that threat’s reality remain anonymous?

4. BULLIES ARE GOOD FOR SOMETHING AFTER ALL. A study has uncovered the shocking truth that children with food allergies are subject to bullying. Why is this a good thing? Because maybe the bullied children will exile themselves onto some island somewhere and I can move forward with my pet project: filling public swimming pools with my patented peanuts ‘n’ shellfish trail mix.
