IT60: Kent Brockman Reporting
Today's IT is brought to you by the fact that BBC News is reporting that "A Chinese company chairman has been sentenced to death for running a scam involving giant ants." Seems he rooked investors into sinking lots of money (About 3 billion Yuan, that's somewhere in the neighborhood of $400 million US) into a company on the claims that they were breeding medicinal ants.
I think the BBC has this a bit wrong. Compare their lead with that of Spain's EiTB: Chinese man sentenced to death for giant scam to breed ants. It wasn't the ants that were gigantic, it was the scam.
All the same, here's the thing that popped into my head:
I, for one, welcome our new ant overlords.

IT59: According to Bartlett
Senator Ted Stevens (R- Alaska): The Internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

IT58: Reading is Fundamental
That page: the one that says "This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to actual places, events, or persons living or dead is purely coincidental."

IT57: Pinch Hitter
So, I looked at the previous Inappropriate Thoughts on a computer with a bigger screen, and it turns out that the alligator in question is typing on a keyboard, and not savagely rogering an umpire after all. My bad.
As a result, I feel I ought to offer a free replacement:
That is a refreshingly honest and direct headline. I just wish I could work the phrase "savagely rogering" into your replacement comment.
