Letter from President George W. Bush to the President of Anheuser Busch
It has been discovered that former president George W. Bush would sometimes drink too much and write letters to the president of Busch Beer. We were able to uncover one of the letters:
President Busch
I want to ex-empt this letter by professing to you that I have been fooled again by your product lines. I had already drank either ten or lavender of your Busch beers before I realizationed I was drinking beer at all.

Snapping Turtle
A Joke is Born
This one deserves a rather long list of credit giving. The initial idea found its origin while I was busy spreading a thin line of ketchup down each individual fry before eating them at the Diamond Restaurant in Charlotte, NC.

Martha Washington's Letter: December, 3 1776
Below, is a photograph of the original letter.
transcription:
December 3, 1776
To my George
The most unfavorable of events came to pass this week.
While I was placing a log in the fire, I absentmindedly
grabbed the cutting board and threw it on the coals.
It was as if it had been a sinner cast into inferno.
Gone, gone! All lost and burnt back to the original elements.
I was distraught with sorrow at this awful turn of
events and for the better part of the evening hours
was inconsolable. I passed into a black case of the vapors.
Even now as I write, I am distressed, weighted
with thoughts of these hardships I suffer with you gone.
Oh George, do return soon from your peregrinations and
bring hope back to your utterly and abysmally wretched,
Martha Washington
ANALYSIS
It is suspected that Martha Washington was the conductor of one of the
underground railroad trains. With the aid of the Vanderbilts, she had
laid the track from Washington D.C. to Atlanta and regularly took on
passengers running away from slavery. Martha rarely slept as she worked
tirelessly to flee the slaves, because her live-in psychic painted grave pictures
of a future war between the "blue" and the "grey" in which millions of
Americans would die and all because of the unsettled issue of slavery.
This letter was written in a cypher, of which only George Washington knew.
Although we figured it out by rolling dice, eating the leaves of the bjornica plant,
and waiting on crystal visions. After applying the cypher, the letter reads:
Are you Washington your Presidentures?
For more on Washington, I recommend Washington: a Life by Ron Chernow!

Ocarina of Time
If you've ever played Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, you will know that Link plays notes on an ocarina in the game in order to complete various missions. An ocarina is a fairly obsolete wind instrument, but it is alive and well in the video game and Pete figured out that by manipulating the controls it has a one and a half octave range. Here's a schematic for how to play different notes on the ocarina:
That's really something wouldn't you say? Pete also found a room that plays a drum beat similar to Cosmo Canyon in FF7, and worked at it for about 3 hours before getting it just right.
Pretty nifty, eh?
