Wet Towel News Bulletin: Concern over Irony Deficit in the Universe
There is a growing sense of unease amongst the script-writing and comedic community that they may be running out of irony. Since the early 20th Century it has been observed by scientists that the universe has a limited reserve of irony which it can dispense over a given period. In the 1950s the Irony Observation Unit was set up in the German city of Frankfurt to regulate and control the distribution of irony, as it was assumed that the control of irony would be best left in the hands of those who had least use for it. However, on the 20th of March, 2008, it ... >>full
Wet Towel News Bulletin: Modern Debate over Ancient Hieroglyphs
Controversy has erupted in the historical community with the reexamination of the funerary papyrus of Princess Entiu-ny.

The process of the Olympic Flame around the world has been marred by protest and violence. While this has been hailed by many, particularly in the Olympic Council, who don't want to look like idiots for giving the Games to one of the world's worst human rights offenders as a free publicity stunt, as a tragedy and an insult to the spirit of the games, others have been much more positive on the issue.
Mr Robert Wilson, a noted expert on the Games, said "I think China's hijacking of the Olympic Games in an attempt to make themselves look like a legitimately accepted member of the ... >>full
Well wow, this has been
quite the little roller coaster for the Wet Towels. Not even a
week ago we were playing around with the idea of getting some space
on the internet as a base for our many shenanigans. We looked
around, and got a little niche on awardspace, one of those lovely
places that give you free webspace and candy apples. The next
day was spent busily chatting to beautiful women around the world,
while Jiggs made the website, before it got to the stage where he
began to shoot fire from his eyes and threaten to devour the
multiverse if he didn't ...
We at Wet Towels thought that while posting news items using words and text was well and good, is it really enough in this digital age? Anyway, when CNN and Fox have their own fair and balanced news coverage of world events, why should the Wet Towels not have a similar show?! We will still, of course, be posting lots of lovely lovely news items using the keyboard, we may occasionally throw more recorded snippits at you. And bricks. But that's only because you mock me!! Mostly they will be informative, and in NO WAY COMEDIC!!
A rather large proportion of The Wet Towels have come together for
the annual "best song ever" award. You may ask how can an award for
best song ever be annual. Well, ask away, but there will be no answers, as this is a timeless event that will go on forever.
