RUB Times | Lawns are Going Empty all Around the World

+6

Intro

Sorry guys, I procrastinated on this a lot.  I had a school event where I had to read a lot, so that was taking up most of my time for the past few weeks.  I also had a cold this weekend.  Thus, I was not able to get the Sudoku done for today.  Sorry.  Information in this blog is relevant to the weeks I missed.

Welcome to RUB Times (Funny Newspaper Headlines), a series that takes the form of a newspaper and contains Headlines, a Crossword, a Sudoku, JetPunk News, and an Acronym of the Week (as we all know how much the community likes to make acronyms out of letters).

Lawns go Empty in Various Areas of the World!

Many people in all 196 countries have been reporting that their lawns are being chewed up and uprooted.  A person from Bielefeld, Germany, had caught footage of a person coming up to their house and eating their grass.  Scientists believe that people with boanthropy, a psychological disorder in which people believe they are a cow, are the ones uprooting the gardens and lawns.  More and more people are setting up security cameras.

Bielefeld Alert!  This whole scenario obviously isn’t real since that city is a definite hoax. Geez, I thought these people who report these stories would know better than to believe this preposterous idea.  Interesting how someone could believe they are a cow though, I don’t think that would be too fun of a life to live.  Of coarse, that’s assuming boanthropy is real!  It may just be another conspiracy theory made by potatoheads.

Some people think that they’re a cow

Man Knocked Unconscious After Getting in a Fight with a Milk Carton Because it “Looked at me Funny”

A man reportedly was knocked unconscious after getting in a fight with a milk jug.  Later questioning with the man reveals that the milk jug looked at him funny.  Don’t trust milk jugs, people.

Huh?  So many questions.  How did it look at him funny?  Did it have eyes?  How would it knock someone unconscious?  Maybe further investigation with answer some of these questions.
Don’t mess with these guys, they fight back.

Scientists Report Strange Activity on Easter Island

Chilean scientists report that strange things have been happening on Easter Island.  One scientist reported seeing a ragtag group of pirates on the western side of the island, and another scientist reports seeing a moving moai head.

Apparently the Somalian Pirates that we’ve been following in a couple RUB Times episodes have landed on Easter Island in Chile and are establishing a camp there.  I’m a little nervous about the moving moai heads though..

A moai on Easter Island.  Studies show that they can move?

  Militaries Start Using Genetically Mutated Giraffes as Spies

Many powerful militaries are starting to use giraffes as spies, ladders, or other things.  Training exercises include hopping on a giraffes back to scale walls, or using a giraffe to peek through windows to gather intelligence.

Hmm, not sure what to think about this.  I certainly don’t think it would be that easy to disguise a giraffe, though.  I wouldn’t want one of them spying on my dinner, on the other hand.  Maybe we’ll see them in action soon, what with all the wars going on right now.
No privacy allowed with these guys

Ants Rage Vicious Wars Underground!

Ant colonies are battling each other beneath the grounds.  Houses, buildings, and cars are being knocked over and upturned!  We hope these battles stop soon as millions of dollars of damage has already occurred.

Recently, there was an earthquake near my house.  It knocked over one of the largest trees on my block, leading to a car being squished.  I hope this catastrophe stops soon, or much more damage will occur.
