A team of scientists from Spain and the UK has determined that a certain primitive group of flatworms are the oldest living ancestors to all "bilateral" animals-that is, those with a right and left side.
That's pretty much all humans, except for Rush Limbaugh.
In France, a radio psychologist who specializes in giving marital advice had his latest book canceled by the publisher when he admitted he's getting a divorce.
He plans to emigrate to "L'Etat Unis d'Hypocrisy," where such an apparent conflict is accepted.
First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled deep into the Sahara desert on Saturday to spend the night amid towering sand dunes after a traditional Moroccan feast.
It marks the first time she's had two humps since before the Monica Lewinsky affair.
In Carlsbad, N.M. a big rig loaded with radioactive waste arrived Friday at the nation's first nuclear waste dump.
It is thought to be the biggest load of waste dumped since The President's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" statement.

Washington, DC (DPI) — President Clinton on Wednesday gave the go ahead for US-led NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia, thus sending Republican Congressional leaders into a frenzy, trying to find out what exactly Clinton is trying to cover up this time. "We know he's done something bad, we just can't find it yet" said Henry Hyde (R-Ill). "We have been checking our usual sources, including People Magazine, Dateline NBC (all 5 nights), 20/20, and the National Enquirer for some sign of some woman, somewhere, who is claiming something about the President, but so far no luck." Hyde went on to say he was certain they would find something sooner or later "one way or another." — Reported by Jeff Rabinowitz--== THE DAILY PROBE ==--

Washington, DC (DPI) — Angered by the protracted monopoly trial, and referring to vital national interests, President Clinton this morning announced that starting immediately the US will be launching airstrikes against Microsoft Corporation. "Bill Gates has repeatedly refused to negotiate in good faith with our government these last few months, and only by taking a strong, united stand against him can we return this turbulent industry back to peace," said Clinton at a press conference. "What if 125 years ago someone had stood up to John D. Rockefeller? What if 90 years ago someone had stood up to J.P. Morgan? What a difference intervention can make if done at the right time."
Advisors close to the President admitted, on the condition of anonymity, that they didn't know what the hell he was talking about. "I dunno, we were all just horsing around one day, joking about how many times Windows 95 went down on him and he just leapt into action." — Reported by Christopher Troise

BELGRADE, UM, THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA (DPI) — Serbian President Slobodan Milosovic denied that his troops have responded to NATO air strikes by massacring Kosovar civilians, arguing that Kosovo suffers an epidemic of terminal illness and that his troops were simply carrying out mass assisted suicide. Milosovic also blasted NATO attacks for destroying Serbian command and control health clinics and medicinal missile batteries. Meanwhile, health-conscious Serbians rioted outside U.S. embassies in various European capitals to protest inadequate health insurance coverage in the U.S. Said one Serb, Dosovics Vaporub, "We are only showing you how to deal with your health care crisis by healing the Kosovars with high doses of machine gun fire. If you did likewise in America, you wouldn't have to worry about running out of funds for Medicare."
GOP Senate leader, Trent Lott, briefly considered the idea, but then decided that shooting the ill and elderly would severely reduce the number of tobacco consumers. President Clinton spent the weekend on the phone consulting with European phone-sex operators, and expressed optimism that his wife would be away in Africa for a few more days. No presidential contenders commented on the NATO action, with the exception of Dan Quayle, who wished that the "Furbians and the Elmovars could live together in peace." — Reported by Jonathan Colan

A lawyer got married to a woman who had previously been married 12 times. On their wedding night, they settled into the bridal suite at their hotel and the bride said to her new groom, "Please, promise to be gentle. I'm still a virgin."
This puzzled the groom, since after 12 marriages, he thought that at least one of her husbands would have been able to perform. He asked his new bride to explain the phenomenon.
She responded:
"My first husband was a Sales Representative who spent the entire marriage telling me, in grandiose terms, how great it was going to be.
My second husband was from Software Services; he was never quite sure how it was supposed to function, but he promised he would send me documentation.
My third husband was from Field Services and repeatedly said that everything was diagnostically OK, but couldn't get the system up.
My fourth husband was from Educational Services, and you know the old saying — 'Those who CAN, DO; those who can't, teach'.
My fifth husband was from the Telemarketing Department. He knew he had the order, but he wasn't quite sure when he was going to be able to deliver.
My sixth husband was an Engineer. He told me that he understood the basic process but needed three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
My seventh husband was from Finance and Administration. He knew how, but he just wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
My eighth husband was from Standards and Regulations, and he told me that he met the minimum standards but regulations weren't clear on how to do it.
My ninth husband was a Marketing Manager. Even though he had the product, he just wasn't sure how to position it.
My tenth husband was a psychiatrist. All he ever wanted to do was talk about it.
My eleventh husband was a gynecologist, and all he ever wanted to do was look at it.
My twelfth husband was a stamp collector, and all he ever wanted to do was... OH GOD, do I miss him!!!!
So now I've married you, and I'm really excited."
"Why is that?" asked the lawyer.
"Well, it should be obvious! You're a lawyer!! I just know I'm going to get screwed this time!"
OK, you guys — if ANYONE out there knows any single, unattached stamp-collecting lawyers, it is vital that you give them the following e-mail address:
StarGoddess@IamYours.com
(F = FANTASY, R = REALITY)
F: He'll lavish you with gifts for no particular reason.
R: You've got him confused with Santa Claus, who's already married, anyway.
F: He'll be tall.
R: He'll say he's five-foot-ten, although you'll tower over him at five-seven.
F: He'll look at no other women.
R: He still thinks Sharon Stone, the swimsuit model in Sports Illustrated, and the young baby-sitter down the street all want to meet him.
F: You'll be in his every thought.
R: He'll spend half his life obsessing about a receding hairline; the other half rehashing the latest game on ESPN.
F: He'll be witty.
R: He'll still tell knock-knock jokes.
F: You'll share the same interests.
R: He'll cancel a romantic evening with you for a tractor pull.
F: He always walk beside you, smother you with kisses, and give you unconditional love.
R: Now you've got him confused with the family dog!
Mr. Potato Head...
He's tan.
He's cute.
And if he so much as looks at another woman... you can rearrange his face.

10. Last year's pitchfork not compatible with this year's hay.

8. The "Good Plague" hoax.

5. Forget about William Tell; William Gates shoots Apple off the head of Steve Jobs.
4. Use of a large, clumsy broadsword instead of yet-to-be-invented scissors helps explain Lord Bill's haircut.
3. Archbishop of Canterbury gets hit in the face with a pie.

This will put things in perspective. It's hard to believe certain people survive to adulthood...
• 1st Person: "Do you know anything about fax machines?"
• 2nd Person: "A little. What's wrong?"
• 1st Person: "Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called back to say all she received was a cover sheet and a blank page. I tried it again, and the same thing happened."
• 2nd Person: "How did you load the sheet?"
• 1st Person: "It's a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn't want anyone else to read it by accident, so I folded it so only the recipient would open it and read it."
I saw a lady at work today putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. I inquired as to what she was doing and she said she was shopping on the Internet, and they asked for a credit card number, so she was using the "ATM thingy".
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.
• "Do you need some help?" I asked.
• She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery in this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery for this?"
• "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked.
• "No, just this remote 'thingy,'" she answered, handing it and the car keys to me.
• As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."
Several years ago we had an intern who was none too swift.
• One day he was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?"
• "Just use copier machine paper," she told him.
With that, the intern took his last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five blank copies.
I was in a car dealership a while ago when a large new motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister". I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the cruise control, then went in back to make a sandwich.

A guy was talking to his buddy, and he said, "I don't know what to get my wife for her birthday. She has everything, and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants, so I'm stumped."
His buddy said, "I have an idea. Why don't you make up a certificate that says she can have two hours of great sex, any way she wants it? She'll probably be thrilled!" So the first guy did just that.
The next day his buddy asked, "Well, did you take my suggestion? How'd it turn out?"
"She loved it. She jumped up, thanked me, kissed me on the mouth, and ran out the door yelling — I'll see you in two hours!"
As God is peering down on the Earth, he notices two statues, one a man the other a woman. He says to himself, "Those statues have been standing there for thousands and thousands of years, I will reward them by giving them one day of life."
Instantly the two statues become alive. They look at each other in silence for a while before the woman statue says, "Well, what do you want to do?"
The man statue says, "I know! Follow me," and runs behind some nearby bushes. The woman statue follows and a rustling noise comes from behind the bushes.
Sometime later they come out from the bushes very ecstatic and the man statue says, "That was fun! Want to do it again?"
The woman statue replies, "Sure, but this time you hold the bird and I'll shit on his head."

A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door. "Hurry!" she said, "Stand in the corner." She quickly rubbed baby oil all over him and then she dusted him with talcum powder.
"Don't move until I tell you to," she whispered. "Just pretend you're a statue."
"What's this, honey?" the husband asked as he entered the room. "Oh, it's just a statue," she replied nonchalantly. "The Smith's bought one for their bedroom. I liked the idea so much, I got one for us, too." No more was said about the "statue". Later that night they went to sleep.
Around two in the morning the husband got out of bed, went into the kitchen, and returned with a sandwich and a glass of milk. "Here," he said to the statue. "Eat this. I stood like an idiot at the Smith's for three days and nobody offered me so much as a glass of water."

This guy walks into a bar and two steps in, he realizes it's a gay bar but says, "What the heck, I really want a drink."
When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the customer, "What's the name of your penis?"
The customer says, "Look, I'm just not into that. All I want is a drink."
The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your penis."
So the customer asks the man sitting to his left who is sipping on a beer and asks, "Hey bud, what's the name of your penis?"
The gentleman looks back with a smile and says, "TIMEX."
The thirsty customer asks, "Why Timex?"
The guy proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!"
A little shaken, the customer turns to the guy on his right sipping on a fruity margarita. "So what do you call your penis?"
The other gentleman turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD."
The customer thinks how this naming thing works and says, "Because quality is Job 1...?"
The gentleman replies, "No. Let me ask you — Have you driven a Ford, lately?"
Even more shaken, the customer has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his penis. He turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my penis is Secret. Now give me my beer."
The bartender begins to pour the customer a beer, but with a puzzled look asks, "Why Secret?"
The customer says, "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman!"
