Easy Jet Airlines apologized to Jewish passengers after they complained that nothing but pork was served on board.  Actually, it was their popular “Luau Express” to Maui during which they roast a pig in one of the engines.

Dr. Christian Lambertsen, man who invented the first SCUBA system in 1941, has died in Pennsylvania at the age of 93.  He’s generally credited with doing almost as much to popularize underwater breathing as Pamela Anderson on “Baywatch.”    

Despite the most out-of-shape recruits in history, the Pentagon has eliminated push ups, sits ups and jogging from basic training.  Their new fitness policy is more in line with their gays in the military:  “Don’t Weigh, Don’t Say.”

A radio station in Aschaffenburg, Germany offered listeners a $4,000 prize for the best quote for their headstone.   The winner:  “Don’t Blame Me.  You Ever Tried Living in Aschaffenburg?”

For the first time in history, a sitting pope exonerated the Jews from any blame in the crucifixion of Jesus.    Pope Benedict’s pardon was welcome in Israel, but now he must attempt to convince Galliano and Mel Gibson.

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.
