More borscht?  No thanks!
Dining at the American consulate in Poland this evening, midway through dinner with several high-ranking officials, The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith was cordially offered a second bowl of borscht. "No, thank you," he replied as politely as possible. Smith later revealed to the press that the mere smell of the soup had made him feel ill, and that when nobody was looking, he had poured the first bowl down his pants.

Rumors of GOF UGNÜT reunion false
Reacting to yesterday's front page story run by a Dutch tabloid claiming the imminent reunion of GOF UGNÜT, Rev. Smith today dismissed the rumors as "hogwash". He further denied any knowledge of an animatronic Jonathan Anthony Field built by U. N. scientists especially for this event. GÜ broke up in 1993 after Field died in an olympic-sized swimming pool of his own vomit.

Smith down 7 7/16 in heavy trading
Shares of The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith were off 7 7/16 at day's end after jittery investors staged a late session sell-off. "This has long been an over-valued stock, and a correction of this magnitude was inevitable," stated W. T. Johnston.  Rev. Smith, based Mountain View, CA, recently added The Second Coming to his product line, hoping to continue the success he has had with his recent album and flagship project BRAD: the game.

Catholic church adopts 3rd testament
In a historic 1-0 vote, the Pope today voted to adopt The New Improved Testament into the church's official Holy Bible. This third "testament" joins the ranks of the ancient Old Testament and the long-accepted New Testament as official word of GOD. This newest testament "completes the trilogy" according to the Pope. It is expected that other Christian churches will follow the Pope's lead, adopting this work in weeks to come.

Smith constructs time machine
After years of research and countless hours of round-the-clock construction, The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith has finally developed a working time machine.  This early model is not without its restrictions, explained Smith, as it can only travel forward in time not backward.  Nonetheless, its first test was an unqualified success.  "This morning I stepped into the machine and set it for an hour into the future.  After a grueling sixty-minute journey, I had arrived in the future," smiled Smith, "exactly on time."

Dentist informs Smith of new cavity
A routine visit to the dentist for a cleaning yesterday revealed that Rev. Smith may have a new cavity developing. "His teeth are fine," said Dr. Yakamoto, "That's not the problem. But there is evidence to suggest that Smith may have an anal cavity." The dentist told Smith that he needs to brush more often, always remembering to get to those hard-to-reach-spots, and not to forget to floss regularly.

Would you like some fries with that?
Let's see... that was one double cheeseburger - hold the mayo, one spicy chicken super-value meal with a medium Sprite, two large orders of onion rings, a big bacon classic with just lettuce, a small vanilla shake, a medium Diet Coke, and two apple pies to go... would you like some fries with that, sir?

April Fools!
Yesterday's report of scary monsters attacking the Earth was really just a good old fashion April Fool's Day joke. If you fell for it, well, count yourself among the untold thousands who got duped and took such (in hindsight pretty silly) actions as: emptying their bank accounts, fleeing to bomb shelters for days on end, and/or mass suicide.
