Hello everyone. Welcome to another edition of The Human World. I'm your host, David Attenbuggo. Humans and insectkind have co-existed for centuries. In the past, it was thought that there were not too many species of humans, at least in comparison to us. But as the years have passed, we have learned that humans do indeed have a variety of species that rival our own. Species such as the Blue Uniformed Police Officer, the S...

I have been the organizer of our city's Christmas parade for over twenty years. In all that time, there has never been one complaint. I thought this year's parade was our best ever. Everyone performed in a professional manner and the crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves. Some of our floats were truly magnificent. So, you can imagine my surprise when my receptionist informed me that there was a man who wanted to voice a...

I thought that working in the book publishing business would be exciting. After all, you get to read all these amazing stories for free. Unfortunately, for me, I found out the hard way, that most of the manuscripts we are sent are so uninteresting or terribly written, just staying awake, reading them can be a real challenge. Especially where I work since we only publish children's books. There isn't a day that goes by wit...

Faith knew the moment she pulled into the driveway, that she was possibly making the biggest mistake of her life. But what else could she do? There was a cry for help. She either would or wouldn't. In a way, she blamed herself. She let herself get too close... too trusted. If only she maintained her distance... like any good teacher would. It all started just a few weeks earlier, but really it had been a problem from day...

My name is Dr. Reginald  Alexander Ghurtholtz. I am a monsterologist, teaching monsterology at the world-famous Graveyard University. For those of you who don't know, monsterology is the study of monsters. Yes, they do exist. Of course, my so-called scientific colleagues disagree with me, but what do they know? They're just a bunch of chemists, biologists, zoologists and so forth. You know... voodoo scientists. They actua...

"The Devil made me do it." Have you ever heard anyone say that? You're probably thinking whoever said that is just using that as an excuse to get out of trouble. You could be right, but on the other hand... it could be I really did make them do it. That's right, I'm the one and only Devil. Pleased to meet you, by the way. I would shake your hand, but, you know, the Corona virus thing. Being the Prince Of Darkness doesn't...

I guess you could say I come from a broken home. To say my family was not typical of American values would be the understatement of the year. We have no values. Most of us are either in prison or just haven't been caught yet. Because I come from a very large family, that's a lot of people who shouldn't be amongst the rest of society. Disfunction was the name of the game. There was no one to teach us right from wrong, good...

So, you think you have a terrible job? Try being a psychiatrist ... psychologist ... whatever the degree on the wall says I am. I never could figure out the difference between the two. All I know is, I got online, figured out where to send the check, and a few days later, received my degree in the mail. I didn't even have to study, which is a good thing since I failed high school. Getting my degree was the easy part. Work...

What I'm about to tell you, as we say in the spy business, is something I should not be telling you. So please, please, please don't tell anyone what you read here. And if you're a spy or terrorist, please stop reading now, because there's some top secret, sensitive information you're not supposed to know about. Okay, now that it's safe to talk, I guess I should let you know a little about me. For obvious reasons, I can't...

"Ho! Ho! Ho! Welcome to another edition of 'Letters To Santa', the show where yours truly reads letters from viewers like you on the air. Now before we get to this weeks' letters, Santa wants all of you to know that this past year has been one for the ages, and not in a good way. As I'm certain many of you already know, Santa has had a few legal problems I had to deal with. You may recall on last years' Christmas show, I...

Do you ever wonder what it's like to be a fly on the wall? A lot of people ask that. If you are not one of them, then read no further. If you have, however, then have I got a story for you. You see, I already know what it's like. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Richie ( stage name Wingo, more on that later) but my name really doesn't matter. Who I am does. I'm what's known as a common house fly. I'm sure you've s...

Life in the newspaper business has many twists and turns. Even more so now with so many papers going out of business. Employment can be hard to come by so just finding work of any kind is always appreciated. Recently, I was hired by The Thornhill Daily, a smaller paper in a rural area and today was my first assignment. My name? Maxwell, Digger Maxwell. Sugar Puss Road is one of those two lane country roads with trees lini...

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! And welcome to another episode of Letters To Santa, the show where I read letters form viewers like you on the air. Now before I read this weeks letters, I've got some old business to address.  First is the investigation by the authorities about my workshop claiming that it was a sweatshop staffed by children working for little or no pay. Seriously? Staffed by children? I guess they've never s...
