Some other pieces of news are: Dick Whipple, the famous scientist has just received word from Mars that Babozcarowizklx has discovered a method by which he expects to overcome gravity. Upon being interviewed, Mr. Whipple stated that the plan was as follows: Baboz- carowizklx, wearing a specially made pair of shoes, the soles of which were filled with moths, is to stand on his head. Then his assistant will turn an electric fan on the shoes. This is to agitate the moths. The moths will create enough energy to cause him to rise in the air. The only trouble is that the moths might eat their way through the leather.
