-
- Houston, Texas. A person was detained whilst attempting to
- board a QANTAS flight destined for Melbourne, Australia. In his
- possession he had a suitcase that was full of lead-shielded
- X-Industries paraphernalia.
-
- An FBI spokesperson stated that Mr X was undoubtably planning on
- expanding his illicit operations in high tech anarchy, into the
- soft underbelly of Australian culture.
-
- Many of the devices were disguised as cans of Fosters Lager, with
- some particularly lethal cocktails disguised as Chanel No. 5, in
- a kangaroo shaped roll-on bottle.
-
- The Australian Embassy in Washington had no comment to make upon
- learning of the incident, and whilst the seriousness of the
- affair is without doubt, it is unlikely that any diplomatic
- repercussions will follow on from this event.
-
- X-Industries is well known in the United States of America for
- its post natal lobotomy kit, and a 'painting by numbers' set that
- used various paints laced with radium salts 'so that they glow in
- the dark on the kiddies fingers'. Both items are banned from
- major retail stores, however a strong black market has developed
- for people who wish to do self-trepanation, or just want to get
- rid of the kids over the Christmas holidays.
-
- No reports of X-Industries products have ever been forwarded to
- Australian Authorities. A spokesdork for ASIO was overheard
- stating that nuking the fuckers would be a waste of good rocket
- propellant.
-
- Contacting X-Industries in the US proved to be fruitless,
- providing only a recorded message with the codewords RDC is DEAD.
