Wacky-Time Funny FunNews

Hold on to your giggle bone, 'cuz here are few of those wacky, weird and wonderful items that you'll never see on the 6 o'clock news. Hi-yo!

AP News:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Abdul Qadeer Khan spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy loyalty — writing checks for anything from seminars to friends' weddings — in a patronage scheme that allowed him to elude suspicion as head of the world's most successful nuclear black market, senior scientists and government officials told The Associated Press on Monday.

Qadeer? Sounds like this guy might be a little "light in the sandals," if you catch my drift! Wahn wahn waaaaaa.....

From the Guardian:

Money illicitly siphoned from the UN oil-for-food programme by Saddam Hussein was used to finance anti-sanctions campaigns run by British politicians, according to documents that have surfaced in Baghdad. Undercover cash from oil deals went to three businessmen who in turn supported pressure groups involving the ex-Labour MP George Galloway, Labour MP Tam Dalyell, and the former Irish premier Albert Reynolds, it is alleged in documents compiled by the oil ministry, which is now under the control of the US occupation regime.

Blimey, guv'na, those papier mache heads aren't goona pay for themselves! Boiii--IING!

Also from AP:

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's foreign minister on Tuesday said Tehran had not acquired any nuclear equipment that had not been declared to international inspectors — though it was interested in the technology. Kamal Kharrazi also said the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency had been informed of all Iranian research. He also said Iran had the potential to produce nuclear fuel for sale abroad but did not have a ready supply. Last week, Iran said it had the right to produce and sell the fuel.

Paging Granny Clampett: thar's moonshiners in them Iran hills! What next -- NASCAR? shwooop!
