Take us to your seven-member board of commissioners


Posted at 12:01 am by Jon Bauer, Herald staff

A Denver man wants the city to establish an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission that would handle any problems that might follow a close encounter of the bureaucratic kind. You laugh now, but wait until the Mordebians of Krolack 5 demand to know why we haven't filed taxes with the Intergalactic Revenue Service for the last 8,000 years.

Gotta have tunes, bro: Three Stanwood High School students have built a barge that uses wave action to generate electricity. The teens will know they've succeeded when they generate enough energy to power the barge's stereo system.

You should see the fish hook: The giant Palouse earthworm, a 3-foot-long worm found beneath Washington state's rolling Palouse hills, may actually have a larger range; the worm may have been found in Leavenworth.

But some scientists suspect they may have found a unique species. While both worms are known to drink large amounts of beer, the Palouse earthworm wears Cougar sweatshirts, while the one found in Leavenworth was dressed in lederhosen.
