I hate laughing at that joke but it gets me every time.

I submitted this with a much worse headline. Congrats, Subby.

Oh Nyyz!!!!!

I tried to feel sad for the whole tragedy and all, but I can't get past the headline. Well done.

Hey, Poland started the whole SZ makes the SH sound. And CZ makes the CH sound. Z = H. Makes a Zell of a lot of sense to me.

poor szuczkyrs

I'd like to buy an "A" please.

Rhames - Hey, Poland started the whole SZ makes the SH sound. And CZ makes the CH sound. Z = H. Makes a Zell of a lot of sense to me.

The funny thing is in Hungarian, it's the exact opposite. SZ makes our S sound, and just an S makes the SH sound. Same thing with CZ and C.

While maybe only about half the deaths of the spainair accident, it will get about 1/8th of the media coverage becuase it's in a country nobody knows/cares about.

/sure this has been done, but what the hell

Why do airplane accidents always seem to come in sets? Its like the odds of getting in an airplane accident are higher when there has been another accident recently.

There was a local interview with the Amazing Kreskin (new window) in which he said around September there would be 4 plane crashes.

So far he's 3 for 4. He ain't losing any of that prognosticating mojo from what I see.

No plane tickets for me anytime soon.

1) It isn't September
2) What do you think the median number of plane crashes in August and September has been over the last, say, 5 years ?

Vowels to Bosnia

Cities of Sjlbvdnzv, Grzny to Be First Recipients


Before an emergency joint session of Congress yesterday, President Clinton announced US plans to deploy over 75,000 vowels to the war-torn region of Bosnia. The deployment, the largest of its kind in American history, will provide the region with the critically needed letters A,E,I,O,U, and Y, and is hoped to render countless Bosnian words more pronounceable.

"For six years, we have stood by while names like Ygrjvslhv and Tzlynhr and Glrm have been horribly butchered by millions around the world," Clinton said. "Today, the United States must finally stand up and say 'Enough.' It is time the people of Bosnia finally had some vowels in their incomprehensible words. The US is proud to lead the crusade in this noble endeavor."

The deployment, dubbed Operation Vowel Storm by the State Department, is set for early next week, with the Adriatic port cities of Sjlbvdnzv and Grzny slated to be the first recipients. Two C-130 transport planes, each carrying more than 500 24-count boxes of "E's," will fly from Andrews Air Force Base across the Atlantic and airdrop the letters over the cities.

Citizens of Grzny and Sjlbvdnzv eagerly await the arrival of the vowels. "My God, I do not think we can last another day," Trszg Grzdnjkln, 44, said. "I have six children and none of them has a name that is understandable to me or to anyone else. Mr. Clinton, please send my poor, wretched family just one 'E.' Please."

Said Sjlbvdnzv resident Grg Hmphrs, 67: "With just a few key letters, I could be George Humphries. This is my dream."

If the initial airlift is successful, Clinton said the United States will go ahead with full-scale vowel deployment, with C-130's airdropping thousands more letters over every area of Bosnia. Other nations are expected to pitch in as well, including 10,000 British "A's" and 6,500 Canadian "U's." Japan, rich in A's and O's, was asked to participate, but declined.

"With these valuable letters, the people of war-ravaged Bosnia will be able to make some terrific new words," Clinton said. "It should be very exciting for them, and much easier for us to read their maps."

Linguists praise the US's decision to send the vowels. For decades they have struggled with the hard consonants and difficult pronunciation of most Slavic words. "Vowels are crucial to construction of all language," Baylor University linguist Noam Frankel said. "Without them, it would be difficult to utter a single word, much less organize a coherent sentence. Please, just don't get me started on the moon-man languages they use in those Eastern European countries."

According to Frankel, once the Bosnians have vowels, they will be able to construct such valuable sentences as: "The potatoes are ready"; "I believe it will rain"; and "All my children are dead from the war" [And "Oh my God, there's an axe in my head." ?]

The airdrop represents the largest deployment of any letter to a foreign country since 1984. During the summer of that year, the US shipped 92,000 consonants to Ethiopia, providing cities like Ouaouoaua, Eaoiiuae, and Aao with vital, lifegiving supplies of L's, S's and T's. The consonant-relief effort failed, however, when vast quantities of the letters were intercepted and hoarded by violent, gun-toting warlords.
