#mad 108 had a letter from Col. Hogan of Hogan's Heroes #sitcom fame.
The resulting #parody is NOT the gentle ribbing Hogan may've wanted. One of the most pointed Mad satires I can remember.

V/Line travel is free on weekends this summer in Victoria but will you find a seat?
Victorians will benefit from free public transport on weekends this summer, but not all travellers are excited for the freebie.

The LNP WANT low skilled exploitable migrants, but they don't want their redneck base to know that.

Liberals want ‘Australian values’ screening for new migrants
Coalition frontbenchers want to focus on values – not race or religion – as they seek to strike a balanced tone while the party bleeds voters to One Nation.

Dr Sokolov developed the bipedal Shagohod in the USSR, under Colonel Volgin in 1964.
The format was questioned, often, but it was easier for later generations of megalomaniacal lunatics to use pre-existing research instead of 're-inventing the wheel'...
...and here we are!

one of the things I really do not understand is why so much of the development of robots seems to be focused on making them bipedal like humans. Why? It's an insane allocation of resources when it would be much easier to give them three or four "legs" or come up with some new system

Todd Snider was a great #songwriter and #raconteur. For me, a gateway artist to a lot of other great songwriters.
Observant, funny, sad, bitter, passionate, compassionate etc., but most of all he was an Alright Guy.
Not his best song but the 1st one I thought of.
