Sad news this morning, Quebecois actor and radio host Pierre McNicoll has died suddenly.

McNicoll was scheduled to be master of ceremonies at tonight's dinner in honour of President Bush at the Museum of Civilization.

He died while working out at Sporttech in Gatineau.

Organizers are said to be looking frantically for a replacement for the dinner tonight.

Thai mouse to risk life for Bush in last line of bio-chemical defence

A humble mouse is to put its life on a plate for US president George Bush this weekend - acting as his official food taster to thwart any attempt at a bio-chemical assasination.

The rodent is one of 10 selected by the authorities in Thailand, where Mr Bush is starting a four-day visit today, and will be served samples of food which the president will eat.

According to Thai officials, the mouse will nibble on Thai dishes and then be observed to see if it drops dead or suffers any ill effects.

. . .

American officials say the White House did respond to a Thai government request asking for Mr Bush's favourite Thai dishes but they declined to disclose what the president asked to be served.

This harrowing tale of the the brave and noble Thai mouse warriors against terrorism always reminds me that what this country needs is a more powerful pretzel.

27. He died before he could give his speech about the end of civilization in a

museum of civilization.

How quaint.

[Anakin Skywalker]

28. Don't Know Who this Dude is.

Too old for me, probably.

[Anakin Skywalker]

29. Bush at the Museum of Civilization?

I find that very ironic since Neanderthal George and his backward supporters are anything but civilized and learned in the ways of the world.

[savistocate]

31. Yes..what got me,The Turn Back Civilization Wing-Display

......

[rox63]

32. Maybe BushCo found out...

...that he was going to say nasty things about W, and they offed him before he could do anything.

[graywarrior]

33. George justs spread his disease like a virus all over the planet

No need to drop bombs. His very presence kills people.
