Congress has declared Pizza a vegetable.

This is not an Onion article. 

Pizza is a vegetable? Congress says yes

Congress wants to keep pizza and french fries on school lunch lines, fighting back against an Obama administration proposal to make school lunches healthier.

The final version of a spending bill released late Monday would unravel school lunch standards the Agriculture Department proposed earlier this year, which included limiting the use of potatoes on the lunch line and delaying limits on sodium and delaying a requirement to boost whole grains.

Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee said the changes would “prevent overly burdensome and costly regulations and to provide greater flexibility for local school districts to improve the nutritional quality of meals.”

"Apollo 18 is not a documentary. The film is a work of fiction, and we always knew that. We were minimally involved with this picture. We never even saw a rough cut. The idea of portraying the Apollo 18 mission as authentic is simply a marketing ploy. Perhaps a bit of a Blair Witch Project strategy to generate hype."

Bert Ulrich, NASA’s liaison for multimedia, film and television collaborations.

Was it really necessary to say this? Who could have possibly thought it was real?

A Connecticut man was arrested in Jersey City yesterday after allegedly tampering with the Colgate Clock. He was seen moving around inside the clock at about 3:30 a.m. by witnesses who were investigating “loud banging” and sparks coming from the booth of the clock.


“I hate this clock,” the man said as he was placed under arrest, adding that it “subjugates us,” police said. According to police, the suspect referred to himself as a “bad doer person.”

"They’re actually going to take a bunch of debris, shredded up tires, golf balls and things like that and under very high pressure shoot it into the preventer itself and see if they can clog it up and stop the leak."

Admiral Thad Allen, head of the US Coast Guard explaining the next plan to stop the Gulf of Mexico oil gusher after the containment box failed.

OK folks, they’ve seriously run out of ideas if this is their next plan

I didn’t think this was real when I saw the commercial on TV, so I had to look it up online. Turns out it is…
“A&E is in production on Steven Seagal: Lawman, a new Real-Life series that will chronicle martial arts expert and international film star Steven Seagal’s extraordinary life in law enforcement.
Seagal’s movies have grossed more than $2 billion worldwide… But it turns out that Steven Seagal isn’t just an action hero in the movies. For almost 20 years, Seagal has been working as a fully-commissioned deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana. In fact, in addition to going out on patrol, Seagal is an expert marksman who has worked with their SWAT team and has instructed Jefferson Parish officers in firearms and hand-to-hand combat.”
