Family Found Murdered, Freed Criminal Is Prime Suspect
As the search for the killer of a family of “others” continues one man remains the prime suspect for the cops. This man, named
Meursault, is thought to be the murderer of the Middle Eastern family of Assyrian descent, due to his history of murdering people of Arab
descent. Meursault was almost executed for the murder of an Arab man almost four years ago, but was released after a white judge found
the evidence to be inadequate at the last minute. And last minute it was, as Meursault was standing right next to the noose as he was
freed.
The family is thought to be directly related to World War II hero, Yossarian, as he is the only other Assyrian that could be found.
When told of his family’s fate, he had this to say, “What? What are you talking about? I don’t even have a family. You must have been
looking for someone else, Yossarian doesn’t have a family!” Poor chap must be in denial. Anyways, he then proceeded to return to his
base, on an island whose name we cannot reveal at this time, obviously to grieve. This man was promoted to the rank of captain a year
ago due to his braveries in bombing one particularly annoying bridge. This bridge had no significance whatsoever, except to serve as a way
to promote soldiers to higher ranks and make the war effort, as a whole, look better. Soldiers of Pia- I mean, Unknown Island, we salute
you!
Thus the search for the killer Meursault continues, as more and more evidence points to Meursault being the true killer. A gun
was found at the crime scene, a Smith & Wesson Model 66 .357 Magnum, found to have Meursault’s fingerprints. There was also a note
Crazed Soldier Says He Knows the Future
with the following message: “The sun was too hot for me, the heat annoyed me, and thus, I shot these people in order to get them to stop
throwing the Frisbee that flashed its glaring light at me… - Meursault.” Though this may seem like definitive proof of Meursault’s guilt, the
Apparently, a soldier who claims he came from the future, Billy Pilgrim,
says he knows what will happen in the coming years. He says he was abducted
by Tralfamadorians, aliens who are from the “fourth dimension” and therefore,
are not constrained by time. Not only does this sound like a ridiculous notion,
but he also proceeded to explain to us what the fourth dimension would actually
look like. The image to the left shows what a cube would look like in the fourth
dimension. It seems to be a cube within another cube.
Mr. Billy Pilgrim has since been taken to a jail. When asked if he saw it
coming, he answered, “of course,” after which he was asked why he would want
to go to jail. He then proceeded to explain to us how there is no way to change
our fates, as these fates are written in stone for us and they will always remain
there. He was then taken to a mental ward instead due to his insane state of
being. He will be kept there for as long as it takes. A nurse was on hand to
explain the procedure for taking care of such loonies. Nurse Ratched said, “We
take of this Mr. Pilgrim the same way we take of all of the rest of our patients,
with loving care and our utmost attention to help them get back into normal
society.” Now there’s a happy ending.

2. B-25 Bombers Getting Major Upgrades
Colonel Cathcart reported to all major journals today that his squadron of
bombardiers is all getting new bombers shipped in to them. These new bombers
will have cleaner insides, more powerful windshield wipers, and new parachute
compartments, as well as a complete redesign of the internal passageways.
The cleaner insides will allow for a more hygienic interior for the new longer
bombing runs the colonel has planned. The wipers are there to address an earlier
complaint of the pilots, thus negating any excuses the soldiers could possibly
come up with. The new parachute compartments have the benefit of allowing for
an extra layer of armor to be added around them. However, they do come with
the consequence of being harder to access. When the colonel was asked of this
new added obstacle in the bombardiers’ path to a safe escape, he replied, “These
new compartments ensure the safe storage of the parachutes and therefore,
keep the possibility of escape open for these men. As for the ‘increased level of
difficulty,’ I’m afraid you are utterly mistaken, for if it was a bad upgrade then
why would I be getting a promotion for it?” That’s good enough for us, colonel.
Finally, the redesigned interior allows for a much more appealing look for these
often uncomfortable planes. Of course, the redesign also comes with the
consequence of blocking hasty exits for bulkier bombardiers. A picture of one of
the new planes can be seen to the right.
Milo Minderbinder’s Economic Report Shows General Economic
Recovery for the Syndicate, Meaning Recovery for Everyone
The latest reports from Milo Minderbinder’s Syndicate shows that all products made at least a small recovery from
last month’s slump on pricing. Milo Minderbinder was then reported to have said, “If the Syndicate is making a
recovery, then everyone is, because everyone has a share in the Syndicate.” This statement prompted the leaders
of six of the world’s major countries to declare the day a national holiday. These countries were Japan, Italy, Spain,
South Africa, New Zealand, and Austria, and the holiday was named Milo the Peacemaker Day. The quotes are as

3. Whining Prince Mummy Found In Ancient Castle, Died of Poisoning
Along With His Family
The mummified remains of a prince were found yesterday, in the remains of an ancient, deserted, and cursed castle. This prince
was apparently poisoned by a cut to his arm. Around him lay many other bodies of dead people, found to be related to the prince. This
poor family was each killed at by each others’ hands, possibly due to the pathetic nature of the prince and his inability to effectively take
revenge for his father’s death even though his father’s ghost came back to him to tell him he was killed by the prince’s uncle. The prince
ended seeing his mother drink poison and die, then he killed an opponent with a poisoned blade, then he killed his uncle to avenge his
father, and finally he died from a wound from the poisoned blade. All of this information and background details have been discovered
through the ingenious scientific method, which allows one to easily hypothesize anything one wants and then prove it, though the
techniques used to prove these hypotheses are said to be legitimate but secret.
The prince’s name was Hamlet, and the castle he was found in is located in the Danish countryside where none of the locals dare
approach due to its being cursed by a curse of cowardice and idiocy. This castle has now been scheduled for deconstruction. Plans are also
being made for the creation of a military training camp right on top of the site. The camp will be called Hamlet’s Happy Holiday Camp. It’s
going to be made to start churning out Nazi’s by the summer of ’45.
Satan Created Two Different Hells,
God Gets Ready to Inflict Major
Punishment on Satan’s Indecisive
Nature
Reports show that Satan, also known as the Devil, Lucifer, or Hades among
other names, incidentally created two versions of Hell in his indecision on
how to keep the world’s sinners in a state of everlasting pain and suffering.
These two versions of Hell are quite different indeed, and they show Satan’s
devious mind to its fullest extent in creating two unique forms of Hell that
exploit two very different sides of the human brain.
The first form of Hell is the traditional image of Hell as being a fiery hole
surrounded by high, rocky mountains, torturing its victims in the burning
pits of brimstone. This version of Hell was the traditional view of Hell, and it
looked like this even when Satan was first dropped in Hell in the first place.
Hell did not require any input from Satan at all in its initial creation, but he
did refine it somewhat by adding some additional punishing mechanisms, as
well as a technologically impressive brimstone application system.
However, Satan then proceeded to find new ways to torture
humans in Hell, and thus he created the newest version of Hell. Three of the
newest entries to this Hell are Garcin, a pathetic coward, Estelle, a deceitful
murderer, and Ines, a cruel manipulator. These three people, when left in
this new Hell acknowledged Satan’s purpose of creating a Hell that is other
people.
Now God is angry at Satan for creating another Hell, and for
creating such a convoluted process for deciding which Hell the sinner goes
to. God’s punishment may actually involve locking Satan up in the new Hell,
along with a few other dastardly, fallen angels, and seeing if Hell could also
be other devils. To the right, Satan is seen cowering in fear of God’s
punishment.

5. Mental Ward Under
Investigation, Harsh
Punishments Said To Be Used
To the right is an image of the mental ward in question, run
by Nurse Ratched this seemingly perfect ward is thought to be
the site of some illegal operations. These specific pictures
show some holding and operation rooms.
The mental ward under the supervision of Nurse Ratched has been charged with conducting illegal operations, such as
lobotomies in its operating rooms. These charges were claimed by the police after an anonymous source turned this information in to a
police office not too far from the ward. The anonymous source was said to be a large Native American man with a bald head and ward-like
clothes. This man is now thought to be the escaped ward patient who is named Bromden.
The allegations have been investigated and will continue to be investigated; however they seem to be ridiculous in nature. The
idea that a dumb, calm, peaceful, old nurse being able to carry out such experiments is very unlikely, as even when we talked to her she
was very gracious and welcoming. The nurse was obviously trying to very nicely train the patient to get back into a normal society. The
patient was most likely of the extremely ill kind, who cannot understand the intent of the kind, old nurse and thus take advantage of her.
This big Indian will be hunted down and brought to justice as soon as possible. Such grievances against society must not be allowed to
walk the streets and dirty our good people with their evil ways. Destroy the Indian!
