Stalking Venus

Some more tragic news delivered to you with a dollop of bad taste:

If you want your scouting experience to literally blow you away, then head on over to Iowa, where four people were killed and at least 40 injured when a tornado struck the Little Sioux Scout Ranch situated near the Nebraskan state border yestereday (Wednesday 11 June).

While scout masters around the world teach their scouts to “be prepared”, even top lawyers have said that there are no grounds on which parents can sioux. Talk of pending lawsuits are said by experts to be “just a whole lot of air” and would be dealt with in a breeze.

Thomas White, an 18 year old staff member working at the camp believes that the destruction could have been worse. “The grace of God helped us for sure”, he is reported to have said… That’s certainly what I always say after a tornado blows into my camping area and kills four kids - Yay for the grace of god!

Sheri Bauwens, a nurse with the American Red Cross said that many of the injuries happened when a brick fireplace in one of the shelters was ripped apart by the storm.

Rumours that the scouts were busy working on their “Survival Foods” merit badge and learning to differerntiate between edible and non-edible nuts have yet to be confirmed, and the suggestion that Scoutmaster Ivor Jest was heard to say “hold on to your nuts kids, this is going to be one hell of a blowjob” are completely unfounded.
