When Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner, 84, became engaged to Playmate Chrystal Harris, 24, on Christmas Eve it came as a complete surprise to his staff.  He had said he was “looking for a rock,” but they were thinking more along the lines of “headstone.”  

The producers of “The Black Swan” ordered some exit polls after  box office grosses outstripped expectations.  Turns out fans of the Marx Brothers are showing up thinking it’s a remake of “Duck Soup.”

US Marines are now teaching the Guatemalan Army how to fight the Mexican drug cartels.  They even gave them their fight song, “From the Halls of Montezuma’s Revenge, to the Shores of Mexicali.”

Archeologists uncovered evidence that Neanderthals ate vegetables as well as meat and switched from hunting to gathering when they discovered it’s easier to gather a head of cabbage than wrestle a wooly mammoth. 

There’s a movement underway to nominate net bad boy Dennis Rodman to the NBA Hall of Fame.  Hoop scribes are unanimous in the opinion that he has about the same chance as Pete Rose.

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000. This is a yuck and chuckle-filled stroll down memory lane to a time before the Bush administration had inflicted its damage -- a time before the search for WMDs and Osama bin Laden. See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
