Pruning the
Press
Well
folks, as May is soon upon us it was high time we did a little spring
cleaning around here. Thus, today the Syndicate
Press has a new streamlined look! Well, it really looks about
the same, but will now load much quicker. All of the articles
from the year of 2001 have been moved and now the main menu features
only articles from this year and last year. So, the Syndicate
Press is all still there, though articles from 2001 can now
be found here. Cheers!

Let's
Go Travel! Yes, the critically defamed Syndicate
Press series continues this week as Syndicate writer Chris Clark

say wear plenty of layers and bring some binoculars, because he's
off to Siberia! Siberia, a vast region of northern Russia, is home
to goats, rodents, and snow. Lots of snow. What better place

Go Travel - Siberian Safari!

Incredible!
Startling! Fantastic! Etcetera!
See
that picture to the right? Do you? Well, speak up!!! That's better.
Well, that picture has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do
with today's update, except perhaps the colours it uses. Nothing!
But come on, just look at that little bear! He's climbing in a tree!
Priceless. Oh, by the way, today's new article is written by our
good friend Roy Bitterman, detailing
the incredible new movie called "Here
And Now"! You may not have heard of it, which means you
are either a caveman or a simpleton! So read on, and be informed!

The Bunny's
Not Gonna Like This...
With
Easter behind us, and our lives bleak and meaningless, we can only
look forward to next Easter. However, shocking news broke today
when it was discovered by chronologists at the Texas Institute for
Scheduling and Time that Easter of 2004 is, in fact, to be on a
Tuesday. Well, in today's Syndicate
Press, writer Chris Clark opens this case wide open. This is
the kind of controversy the matches science against tradition, church
against state, and iconic bunny against calendar mathematicians!
Read it all in Easter Tuesday?

Comic
Cat Culpable for Countless Capers!
At
long last, after years and years of arduous research, expensive
investigation, and loud arguing, the debate over the cause of everything
violent in the world has been laid to rest! That's right, one
single source of violence, the origin of everything bad you
can imagine, has been discovered! But you can only learn about it
if you decide to read the
article. No cheating!

Sorry About
March...
Yes, March was
a dead month for the Syndicate. Unfortunately Drivel Days took a
lot out of us, and the fun of spring break is hard to pass up! Nevertheless,
the Syndicate is up a running again. We may take a break here or
there, but we'll never stop for good.
