Dean Koontz (Bestselling Thriller Author) :

While Voldemort is preparing his final assault on Hogwarts, Arthur Weasley uses his knowledge of muggle artifacts come up with a plan to defeat Voldemort. He and Ron work desperately to connect the flue network to a fireplace in the house of a major Columbian drug lord. Harry and Hermione go through, stun everyone in the house, and steal all their Uzi submachineguns. When the Death Eaters arrive at Hogwarts, members of the Order of the Phoenix gun them down.

Joe Haldeman (The Forever War, Forever Free, Worlds Enough and Time) :

During the final confrontation, Neville Longbottom reveals unsuspected powers when he kills all the Death Eaters all over the world, including Lord Voldemort, by making them blow up into steaming bloody chunks. Neville explains that he is God The Creator Of The World in disguise, and then he blows up all the muggles in the world. God-Neville then proceeds to blow up all the all the wizards and witches in the world except Harry. Then he blows up Harry.

These are hilarious! They are from Mark Draughn and various commenters at windypundit.com and there are more! Thank you!

Conan, Colbert, Stewart: Battle of the Late Night Allstars

Stephen Colbert & Jon Stewart fight Conan O'Brien over who made Mike Huckabee.

After a pretty funny sequence involving a Louisville Slugger, a recycling bin, a Conan stand-in and various choreographed punches and kicks, the three men stood in their suits and pants in the behind-the-scenes area of NBC studios.

After American Gladiators finished for the evening, when most people were thinking about getting to bed, the battle of the late night hosts began to heat up.

This isn't intended on my part to endorse Mike Huckabee
