Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his prototype Lunar Lander designed for ‘sustained human presence on the Moon’
Another big I.T. tycoon
Is having a shot at the moon
This all sounds quite neat
But the plans aren’t complete
So I don’t think it will happen soon

Colorado has become the first US state to decriminalise psychedelic mushrooms

To purchase a magic mushroom

RTÉ Radio One’s Joe Duffy asked to pull a promotional ad from Liveline describing it as ‘atrocious’

It’s so graphic it makes him quite mad

But The Virgin Mary
May not be that scary
Perhaps it will fill you with cheer

But too strong or weak
Then before you can speak
You’ve already damaged your brand

A US job listing seeking an account manager who is “preferably Caucasian” was removed on Sunday following uproar online
An IT firm in the Deep South

They want a new face
But from just one race
It’s high time that they shut their mouth

Norway believe they have stumbled upon a white whale that was trained by the Russian navy as part of a programme to use underwater mammals as a special ops force.
If you head out from Norway by sail
You might just encounter a whale
It has straps on its back
And it’s trained to attack
Like a beast from a strange sci-fi tale

You can get what you want in one day
Sent straight to your house
While you sit there and grouse
That your high street is dying away
