EL NINO DECLARED A HOAX
LOS ANGELES, CA (DPI) -- After El Nino brought only moderate rain to the West Coast, the National Weather Service was forced to admit that the
much-hyped El Nino was indeed a hoax. The infamous "radar" depictions of the swirling weather system were no more than infra-red photographs of a
flushing toilet uploaded onto satellites by a couple of teenage pranksters. In the interest of good taste, the NWS would not describe how the
teenagers simulated the Boktu Islands being spun around and swallowed up by the ocean, but admit that "maybe someone should have called Boktu before
giving the islands Atlantis status." The NWS confessed that they were surprised people actually listened to their local weather person in the first
place, saying, "I mean, look at them for goodness's sake, they're rodeo clowns in suits."
