Death Star to Open Daycare Center*

*An Onion Reprint
After months of speculation, it was confirmed yesterday that the Death Star, the Empire's vaunted, planet-destroying space station, has added a new, state-of-the-art day care centre to its already vast array of capabilities. The massive four-room day care centre, which, according to Grand Moff Tarkin, will "provide a safe and fun learning environment for tots between the ages of one and four," has already begun spring enrollment and is expected to be fully operational by July 1.

The new Sunshine Death Star Play and Learning Center provides battle station parents with a fun and safe environment for their children. The Imperial Emperor himself has overseen games of Duck Duck Goose encouraging the tots to "feel the hatred".

"Nothing can stop the Sunshine Death Star Play and Learning Centre," the Imperial Emperor said via holograph. "With its four classrooms, outdoor playground and experienced staff of licensed day care professionals, no other facility can match its awesome instructive power." Though still several weeks away from full strength, the Sunshine Death Star Centre is already up and running. Among the most popular activities there are finger-painting, storytime and Duck Duck Goose, which the Emperor often helps lead. "Feel your hatred flow through you," he told 3-year-old Jenny Bates, as she energetically chased fellow toddler and "goose" Michael Phillips around the outside of the circle. "Give in to your hatred!"

In addition to enjoying many fun games and learning activities, children at the Sunshine Death Star Day Care Centre have already witnessed the destruction of several planets out the centre's giant bay window. Last Friday, in the middle of a coloring activity, the planet Alderan was blown up, delighting 23 of the 24 children who witnessed the devastating power of the battle station. The sole exception was Libby Phelps, 3, whose family was vacationing in Alderan at the time of its destruction. She was frightened by the loud explosion and began to cry upon realizing that her mother, father and younger sister were now dead. The emperor's elite squadron of imperial guards leapt to action, removing the girl from the room and giving her some ice cream treats to calm her.

According to Death Star officials, the idea for the center sprang up after a number of parents complained about the lack of quality, affordable child care options on the Death Star. "As a stormtrooper and father of three, I'm very excited about the new day care centre," Death Star citizen Ralph Sedgwick said. "It's a safe, nurturing environment, one in which my child will learn." Added Gail Lindon: "For years I took my daughter to work because I couldn't afford a nanny. Do you have any idea how hard it is to operate a tractor beam with a two-year-old pulling at your leg?"

As excited as most are about the new day care centre, a few extremists have expressed concern about its proximity to the Death Star's reactor core.

"There is an opening in the Death Star's main shaft that leads to the core," parent and dissenting voice Annette Voss said. "If a small rebel ship were to somehow break through the deflector shield and enter the shaft, it's possible it could hit the reactor core with a single, well-placed proton torpedo shot and destroy the entire space station." Experts, however, scoff at Voss's theory, dismissing such a shot as "a million to one."

The Muppet Show in space? Here's an example of what that might look like.

The Daleks Take the Easy Route

It seems the Daleks have decided to exterminate humanity the lazy way. By introducing kids to the concept of smoking. Perhaps the decree of 'Ex-Ter-Min-Ate' should be replaced with 'Lung Can-Cer'. Seriously though, it makes sense. Why expend vast amounts of Dalekanium resources on building bombs, time machines or explosive androids when they can take the easy route. Expose children to these 'candy' cigarettes so they will become comfortable with the idea. This should make the jump to real cigarettes flow so much smoother. I smell the collaboration of Joe Camel and Davros.

Time Travellers are Real!


Time travellers are real! Or are they?
Have you seen the puzzling video of what looks like a woman talking on a mobile phone? Is there any possible explanation for this? If she is a time traveller who is she talking to and how are they receiving service? Or you might assume she's simply singing along to a transistor radio. But on the other side of the coin, if a person has time travel technology, certainly they've built a better phone. Perhaps one that can place calls from anywhere in time? Also, it's not possible she's listening to a transistor radio as this film clip is from 1928 and transistor radios didn't make an appearance till the late 40's or early 50s'. The only possible way for her to be doing so was to pick one up from the future, which would mean she's a time traveller, which means she could just as easily be talking on a phone. So is this real documented proof time travel exists? Watch the video below and tell me your thoughts.

Jeffrey Scott's Interview with an Admiral


Special treat today. I had the opportunity to have an interview with Admiral Ackbar, one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance. Unfortunately he was unable to be with us in person. We have him via the network , direct from the bridge of his ship 'Home One'. Below is the transcript from the audio interview. Enjoy.

JS: Admiral, it's good to have you here. Thank you for doing the interview.

AA: May the force be with us.

JS: So I understand with the destruction of the Death Star, there is still lots of work to do. Can you tell us where the fight takes you now?

AA: The Forest Moon of Endor.

JS: I see, so there are still a lot of Imperials to be taken care of?

AA: We've got to give those fighters more time.

JS: Just so you know, the Jeffrey Scott show is known for it's hard hitting questions.

AA: All craft prepare to retreat!

JS: Settle down, I couldn't find any dirt on you. So I've decided to ask a topical question.

AA: The Shield is Down.

JS: I hear Justin Beiber will be performing at a benefit for the New Republic. What are your thoughts on that?

AA: Commence attack!

JS: Wow, I guess you're not a Beiber fan. What's the problem you have?

AA: Our cruisers can't repel fire-power of that magnitude.

JS: That's a bit extreme. I take it you didn't authorize this, so who did?

AA: General Calrissian.

JS: That makes sense. I want to thank you for being on the show today Admiral. But I do have one last hard hitting question for you.

AA: All craft, prepare to jump into hyperspace on my mark.

JS: Joining us on-line now is Mon Mothma who claims she's carrying your child.

AA: It's a trap!

Unfortunately the interview ended abruptly.

Join us again next time as we interview another of our beloved characters. As always, feel free to send us your suggestions for guests and questions to our comments.
