CYBERSPACE - Apparently, 20-somethings are increasingly turning to the Internet to diagnose illnesses, physical maladies and spider bites.

"Take a breath and then cough ... er, type in "Y."

They’re so clever, those kids. Don’t believe us? Go here.

Of course, we laugh now, but as health insurance increasingly becomes a luxury item, maybe they’re on to something.

All we know is that we can’t discern between black and navy blue in dim light, so misdiagnoses are going to be a certainty, and bogus home remedies are sure to follow.

Welcome to the start of the new Dark Ages!

LOS ANGELES - The American Civil Liberties Union is calling for sweeping changes at the Los Angeles County’s Men’s Central Jail.

Imagined it packed with inmates.

In a statement, the ACLU said that dangerous overcrowding at the jail causes or contributes to violence and mental illness.

Describing conditions at the facility as “nightmarish,” Margaret Winter, associate director of the ACLU National Prison Project, said that “Men’s Central Jail is so grossly overcrowded, dangerous and dungeon-like that it puts intolerable stress on the inmates, as well as the jailers.”

LAS VEGAS - The Las Vegas showgirl is an endangered species these days.

Endangered species: showgirlicus lasvegascus.

After a 49-year run at the Tropicana hotel and casino, the topless review “Les Folies Bergere” has packed up its feathers and g-strings and scattered to parts unknown.

This leaves only Bally’s “Jubilee!” as the topless showgirl revue on the Las Vegas Strip.

In recent years, showgirl reviews have fallen increasingly out-of-favor and have been replaced by “Cirque du Soleil” and similar shows.

KAMPALA, Uganda - Lake Victoria, the world’s largest tropical lake, has long been an ecological nightmare with rampant pollution and introduced non-native species like the Nile perch wreaking havoc on the natural flora and fauna.

"Mmmmmmm ... tastes like chicken!"

Moses Kabuusu, Member of Parliament from Uganda’s Kalangala district, now believes that the amount of fish in the lake has become so low that crocodiles are increasingly turning to humans as a food source.

Think about that the next time you toss something in a storm drain. There are always consequences to our actions.
