Illinois and the Texas Democrats relented, and have since returned to Texas.

“Texas does have a larger National Guard than Illinois, and knowing Republicans, other states would have deployed their Guards as well,” said Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett. “We couldn’t in good conscience lay that on Illinois, especially since bleach blond, bad-built butch body bimbo Marjorie Taylor Greene would probably have shown up with her assault rifle collection and some Jewish space lasers.”

320 Million Year Old Dinosaur Egg Found, Scientist Will Attempt to Hatch It.

Dr. Froederick Flynstone Diggittuppe, head of the Paleontology Department at The University of VoopeeFuche, says that on a recent dig in the Goobah Goobah Desert, a 320 Million year old dinosaur egg was unearthed.

The egg appears to belong to a Oookeyookasaurus, the world’s only dancing dinosaur. The scientific team investigating and studying the egg says that it appears to be alive and glows and moves when exposed to 1950’s Rhythm and Blues music.

Scientists say that the plan is to attempt to hatch the egg by exposing it to heat and a constant barrage of funky fifties music. Songs like “Ooh Poo Pah Doo” by Jesse Hill, “Jim Dandy” by Laverne Baker and “The Ookey Ook” by The Penguins will be played over loudspeakers for a solid 9000 hours.
