Adult bullying? Intel worker subjected to ‘Kick Me’ prank files federal lawsuit

By Russell Contreras, The Associated Press

Intel workers secretly taped a “Kick Me” sign to the back of a co-worker as a prank, then kicked the confused man a number of times as employees at the Rio Rancho Intel plant laughed hysterically at the episode, according to a federal lawsuit.

Two involved co-workers lost their Intel jobs after the prank.

To the dismay of picky sci-fi fans nationwide, a combative President Barack Obama blamed Republican lawmakers Friday for failing to stop automatic spending cuts from beginning to kick in late in the day, arguing he can’t perform a “Jedi mind meld” to get Republicans to agree on a deal.

As Peter Griffin would say, “D’oh.”

Colorado’s Mike the Headless Chicken throws hat in the ring for president

The pride of Fruita, the real Miracle Mike was an internationally known oddity in the 1940s when he lived for 18 months minus his head, and the town still celebrates its cock of the walk with a town statute and an annual festival, this year on May 18-19.

“My opponents — those poor clucks — are running around like headless chickens, and I gotta ask you: wouldn’t you really rather have the real thing?” his campaign announcement states.
