				 Terror Threat Levels 
 Got this from another board:
 The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist  threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved."  Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or  even "A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz  began in 1940 and tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been  re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the  British issued "A Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great  fire of 1666.
 
 
 Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has  raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only  two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was  precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag  factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
 
 
 It's not only the English and French who are on a heightened  level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout  Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels  remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
 
 
 The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful  Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have  two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."
 
 
 Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the  only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
 
 
 The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to  deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new  Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
