Mobius Strip News: Volume 1, Issue 2 -- Unsuccessful Cheating, Cupcakes, and Laziness

"Your source for somewhat true and completely wonderful local news."


POLITICS

In an alternate universe, the tiny yet surprisingly successful country of Ni has conquered long time rival country Niz, thus gaining roughly four square feet of land. Lairvem, the leader of Ni, generously allows Arjib, the former leader of Niz, to continue using the land that used to be his. No serious conflicts have arisen, but it is rumored that Winaught, a massive country bordering Ni, is supplying Ni with the latest warfare weaponry, such as paper plates and value napkins.

MISCELLANEOUS

The reporters for Möbius Strip News are too lazy to write more extensive reports for readers. Instead, they have resorted to mostly using headlines. We wish to tell you that we hope you've had a nice, relaxing week, but even that's a bit too much to type.

    1. Yes. Thumb wrestling tournaments are best held on days with inclement weather, according to the staff organizing the tournament.

    2. Clement weather ruined my board-game tournament on Wednesday, too.

    3. Ah, yes, it really is always the weather's fault.
      Besides being good for tournaments, inclement weather is usually a little more interesting than clement weather, not that the latter is unpleasant to me.
