Is it up to the kids to save us all?

Check out this great story about a kid at a school science fair who may have come up with the solution to our mounting plastic problem: http://www.motherjones.com/blue_marble_blog/archives/2008/05/8323_some_kid_invent.html

New Humor Times website additions: a forum and a 'fake news' blog!

I'd like to announce that our Humor Times website has added a long-time-coming forum and a 'fake news' blog.

The forum is something we've wanted to have for a while now, to allow political humor aficionados to share with like-minded surfers from around the globe. We hope you will check it out, logging in is easy, and lively discussions are already underway! Don't see your topic of interest? Start one!

The blog, called "Faux News," is actually an extension of the Faux News section already on the site -- fun 'fake news' stories lampooning the so-called serious news outlets and their shoddy 'news' coverage. These are original Humor Times stories -- think of it as the Daily Show in print! We wanted to present the stories in a blog format to allow you to comment on them and add your own observations/satire/jokes. Please do!
