Tree man spotted in local park

Several residents have spotted what appeared at first to be some sort of Ent, or tree man, in Smith park. Several parents were frightened when he gave their children leaves and pieces of bark. “You can’t have your kids getting bark from just any tree man,” Exclaimed Jenny Oaks, park goer, and mother of three children. “We come to this park all the time, but unless they cut him down, we will be taking our playfulness elsewhere.”

After a brief hunt, we found the tree man posing as a popular tree. He refused to make any comments, mumbling something about us being hasty, but accepted our offer for an interview under the condition that we pour a pint of mountain spring water on his feet, or as he prefers to call them “roots”. 

Check back frequently for “Tree man, a life in the woods” the full length story.

Orange Computers Patent the Rectangle

In a surprising move Start-up computer company Orange legally patented the rectangle earlier this week.  Sid Hoffman, a spokesman for the company stated during an interview. "we did this patent to get lots of money, and to make sure that our assets are well protected."

While Orange is looking to have major profits from this patent companies that make computers, textbooks and dog tags are in an uproar about this event.  Sid Frenchman spokesman for Corgi Collars stated "How are we going to make rectangular dog tags if we need to pay a royalty to this company for all our tags.

Orange expects to make millions of dollars, and also be in court for the next 700 years making it next to impossible for them to get any work done.  Lucky for the rest of use we still have un-patented circles.
