Freddy vs. Jason vs. Rambo Takes Top Spot at Box Office The
Jumping Car?! By Liz Fujita ~ Daily Bull The world has been dreaming of flying cars since the dawn of futuristic films. So far, it hasn’t been practical to assume that cars will be cruising in special lanes above the rest of us, but the world may yet see real-life leapfrog on the freeway. Popular car manufacturer Subaru announced recently that it’s going to rally for Leap Zones – similar to passing lanes, these would be stretches of road where drivers could physically jump over slower traffic. What’s the catch? You would have to be an owner of their soon-to-be-released vehicles, the Kangaru. Basically, the Kangaru propels the driver through the air at the touch of a button. Provided said driver is moving fast enough, the leap should be feasible. “Kinematics says this could be possible,” confirmed several Michigan Tech physics majors. Unfortunately, the auto industry is working to give Subaru a sharp reality check. For instance: what if you go to jump-pass and the car below you speeds up? ...see BOING BOING on back Freddy vs. Jason vs. Rambo Takes Top Spot at Box Office The Steaming Pile Straight From You-Know-Where! Unknown Pastore Passtimes By Nathan ‘Invincible’ Miller ~ Daily Bull The horror-action-slasher thriller Freddy vs. Jason vs. Rambo rocketed to the top of the box office charts this past weekend, blowing past Alice in Wonderland with a weekend gross of $77 million. “It’s a great honor to have worked with such a talented and botched up group of writers and developers,” cheers Sylvester Stallone, who co-directed the bloodbath along with Ronny Yu. “A chance to bring to life a beast like this only comes along once in a lifetime.” Coitus Particle acceleration Drinking.

It’s do or die time, and no hockey mask wearing freak is gonna show up John Rambo’s machete wielding skills.” The climactic battle between the three experienced killers takes place in an abandoned warehouse near Crystal Lake, where Rambo ambushed Voorhees in a pit-fall type trap. Sensing an opportunity to put them both in an early grave, Freddy swoops in to slash their throats. Unfortunately for him, Rambo pulls around his M60 machine gun in the nick of time and gives the otherworldly demon a taste of cold, American lead. The critics rave. I SAID NO PICKELS!!! Stallone also plays the part of John Rambo, a Vietnam War veteran who becomes sucked into the nightmarish drama of the Crystal Lake/Springwood area. While stopping at a small diner, the hardened soldier witnesses the grisly slaying of a convertible full of teenagers by Jason Voorhees, setting off a string of events that leads to the reawakening of Freddy Krueger.

Since the car only promises hops, there will be no jet boosters to ensure a safe landing. Experts do say, however, that finger-crossing has been relatively effective in preventing “belly flops.” Prayer is still being investigative, since results are shotty. BERGAMOT BLACK PEPPER CAMPHOR LAUREL CAPERS “We saw in a couple of test runs that drivers would jump and land their car on top of another intentionally,” explained Subaru affiliate Philip Nash. “Then, when the two cross the finish line, there’s no way of knowing who won!” Both drivers in the test run are in intensive care; doctors are working hard to flatten them out from their Looney Tunes accordion-style injuries.

A group of four damp test-pilots chimed, “Unless they’re giving the Kangaru functional legs or a prehensile tail, landing in a ditch, swamp, woods, or lava pit is going to be a huge hazard.” Subaru has reluctantly agreed to postpone the release of the Kangaru until further tests are done to improve its usability. In the meantime, competitor Suszuki plans to unveil a smart car that can slither beneath semi-trucks when passing lanes aren’t available, and Toyota wants to improve its design for a motorcycle unicycle. Regardless of which (if any) are released, travelers nationwide should be advised to use other means of transit, and remember that sometimes, futuristic innovation is just plain stupid.
