IJN falls for evolution hoax

A story about some species evolving in a rapid burst yesterday has turned out to be a hoax. No fish turned into beavers, as we reported may happen last week.  We can only apologise to any readers who were inconvenienced.


It is impossible for animals to evolve from one species to another in a single day, according to Prof Mandem Pumpsweersinkin of the Drunkonian Institute of Biological Research in Yelping Sidmouth. I don't know how you could have been so stupid as to believe it.

The orginal information was provided by Dr May Dupnaim but this has turned out to be a pseudonym for IJN's arch-enemy Prof Jampants Porridgiaty.


It is very irresponsible feeding false stories to online publishing resources, said Horse McWisker editor of IJN. Imagine what would happen if it became commonplace for false information to appear on the internet.

Prof Porridgiaty was unavailable for comment, but his secretary said: Mwah ha ha ha ha.

Duck for president bid fails

A last minute third-candidate bid for US President from Daffy Duck failed when it emerged he was born in Kenya. Ridicule is the burden of genius, Mr Duck commented. Can you imagine anything so ridiculous as majority rule? Meanwhile, Americans are left with a choice between the lesser of two evils. Polls have the voters balanced neck-and-neck between a president who is useless and a a president who is bonkers. American democracy is a beautiful thing, said one passer-by we latched on to in Washington DC. It just shows that anyone can become president who can raise a billion dollars in campaign funds. A spokesperson for the American Institute of Total Warfare which represents the arms industry said We haven't really made up our minds yet. We've been impressed by how much money President Obama has spent in warfare but we're wondering what we can achieve if we put a real looney in charge.   Photo by Kris Mikael Krister on Unsplash

Resorts send snow to skiers

Ski resorts have begun delivering snow by helicopter direct to skiers' homes in a move designed to protect the mountains from the environmental impacts of winter sports enthusiasts. Although it is a massive undertaking, say Sled Piler of the Alpine Resorts Institute, it works our more environmentally friendly to take the snow to each skier rather than flying all the skiers and their equipment to the mountains.  Former British downhill champion Barg Matipsonfire commented: It's great to have your own individual snow but my garden is completely flat and it appears to be too warm to keep the skiing surface in tip top condition.

Aesthetic jam threat

The European Union wants to redesignate certain British jam as paint after it was found to contain mostly colouring and paint. The Aesthetic Jam Co says the only way to get jam to tone perfectly with people's kitchen colour schemes is to add quantities of paint.  People who demand beige jam to match their kitchen have to expect a little variation in the recipe, said Jim Spread of the Aesthetic Jam Co. The Aesthetic Jam Co admits jam made mostly from paint is likely to taste a little painty. Photo by KAL VISUALS on Unsplash
