SADDAM HUSSEIN HARNESSES CUTENESS OF BABIES FOR
POWERFUL NEW WEAPON

      BAGHDAD--U.S. military-intelligence officials operating deep within
Iraqi territory confirmed Monday that Saddam Hussein has developed a
devastating weapon of mass destruction powered by the cuteness of babies.

      According to Gen. William MacAlester, the weapon, which has been
observed by U.S. surveillance satellites positioned over Iraq, collects
"adorability rays" given off by pink, gurgling newborns and converts them into
an experimental, highly unstable isotope known as Cutium-109, which is then
sped up in a zero-pressure chamber, setting off a chain reaction with a
destructive force 20,000 times more powerful than the blast at Hiroshima.

      MacAlester said that the cuteness is harnessed by loading 4,700 adorable
babies wrapped in fuzzy pink blankets into the weapon's cuteness-conversion
chamber, where the newborns are suffocated, decapitated and mashed into a thin
liquid paste, which is then superheated to 30,000 degrees.

      "The United States has long known that such technology exists, but never
considered developing it because of its obviously immoral and unethical
nature," MacAlester said. "Our great fear was that, eventually, some madman
would come along who had no qualms about using such a terrible device. That
day has come."
