Flat-Earther 'Mad' Mike Hughes intends to finally launch himself into orbit in a homemade rocket on Saturday - right over the Route 66 ghost town of Amboy, California.

An earlier attempt to launch the steam-powered rocket was thwarted at the last minute by a US federal agency, saying Hughes had no permission to use public land.

The vertical rocket jump will now take place on private land belonging to the owner of Amboy, Albert Okura. If successful, it will bring Hughes one step closer to his ambition of reaching the edge of space and proving the Earth is actually flat.

Comment: Gold. Some things about America are just great.

Philanthropists, lobbyists, financiers, CEO's and world leaders all gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week to discuss the risks posed by too much information being funnelled down to the lower classes via the internet and social media channels.

Speaking with their mouths, political leaders lined up to slam social networks for gaining more power than they do, insisting that investors should boycott social media platforms that don't delete and censor perceived views that are not in line with their own.

"Facebook has more influence and reach than any world government, and that's bad," British Prime Minister Theresa May insisted, "the lower classes now have the ability to see every mistake we make and every unedited lie uttered in real time.

"How are we supposed to divide and conquer if all the lower classes are joined together in harmony under one single global platform?" she then asked a now flabbergasted audience of megalomaniac billionaires and world leaders, "even the working class are starting to read the news, news that we didn't create or sign off on with Rupert, news that's exposing many of our secrets - fake news".

Bad to the bone: Vladimir Putin's extraordinarily badass alpha male walk (VIDEO)

A team of British doctors has purported to diagnose Russia's leader with 'gunslinger's gait' - naturally, since he's a gangster right?
vladmir putin artek
If you watch Russia's president Vladimir Putin very much, you've probably noticed he has a very distinctive way of moving.

Putin typically walks with a brisk, steady stride, while swinging his left arm - but keeping his right arm relatively still close to his jacket.

As if there isn't enough speculation and misinformation out there about Russia and Vladimir Putin, a team of British doctors decided (or were incentivized) to investigate Putin's "abnormality" in 2015 - probably hoping to justify some diagnosis of mental illness.

Instead, what they came up with was a totally invented, fictitious condition they called "gunslinger's gait" - also accusing several other top Russian officials of manifesting the symptom. They published their "results" in the prestigious British Medical Journal. You can read the original report here.

Comment: With a walk like that, you know he means business!

The Pope has said that Fake News is harming society while insisting the stories of his omnipotent superbeing all remain entirely true.

The pontiff described fake news as being like the serpent in the garden of Eden, a story that definitely happened and represents an entirely factual account of human history.

He went on to explain, with a straight face, that spreading fake news can have 'dire consequences' such as people making life and death decisions based on something that isn't real.

The fake news criticism has been welcomed by many followers of the Catholic faith, each of whom has no reason to doubt the word of the Pope.

CNN: Undetected Asteroids Could Threaten Earth During Government Shutdown

Two CNN correspondents claimed during an episode of The Lead with Jake Tapper that an asteroid could potentially threaten the Earth if the government shutdown continues.

CNN correspondent Tom Foreman recalled the time NASA could not monitor "potentially dangerous asteroids" for over two weeks, implying that NASA would not be able to prevent an asteroid attack if it hit Earth while the government shut down.

100% of the world's politicians owned by the richest 1%

A STUDY conducted among the richest 1% of the world's population, which is now convened at the secretive Davos summit, reveals that a total of 0% of politicians make decisions independently with many participants in the study proudly listing the names and locations of the politicians they own.

"It's fancy 21st slavery for rich people really," explained one billionaire, drinking soup from the skull of a poor person, just one of 12 courses at a lavish Davos banquet.

"It's all well and good owning the means of production, and paying the poor next to nothing but that's standard rich person stuff. I get no joy from that, it's much more fun to force world leaders into signing some legislation that benefits my interests and my interests alone," the billionaire added, while holding the testicles of one Western leader in a vice like grip as he simultaneously gorged on his main course.

The information contained in this new study comes as it was also revealed the richest 1% of the world now own 82% of the world's wealth, something Davos attendees admit does not make for good reading.

Want to date a Russian woman? Here are 7 reasons why it might end in disappointment

Why a relationship with a Russian woman might end in disappointment.

1. She is too beautiful for you

All women are like women, but Russian women are like goddesses. Well, almost. Russian women's knockout beauty is one of the most widespread stereotypes about them. Although one must admit that the stereotype is not that far removed from reality - Russian women do pay an inordinate amount of time and attention to how they look. Wearing your stilettos to take the rubbish out? Putting on full makeup just to pop out to the shop? Yes, and why not? (We do, by the way, know why they do that). And yet, it is their boyfriends who will have to pay for all this beauty, both literally and figuratively speaking.

You will be constantly outraged - and may become paranoid - at the persistent attention your girlfriend attracts from her admirers. Her dozens of bottles and jars on the bathroom shelf will very quickly crowd out your solitary antiperspirant and will eventually start falling on your head while you take your shower. Furthermore, a lady like that will be a constant source of worry, and from time to time you will have to fight over her (it could be with your fists or in Instagram comments, but you will have to). In other words, say goodbye to the quiet life.

Fallon appeared on Tuesday's Tonight Show decked out in full-Trump attire and proceeded to dole out honors for categories ranging from "Fakest Cable News Network" to "Failing-est Newspaper."

"Welcome to the Fake News Awards, which are totally real, unlike the really fake news, which is fake and not real," Fallon said. "For real."
