Every week in this space, we’ll take a look at the news and offer our own incisive blend of commentary, analysis, and poop jokes. The news you need, from a voice you can trust, in the 90 seconds you have to spare: that’s Woot Weads the Wire.

SAGAMIHARA, Japan (UPI) -- Authorities in Japan said a parakeet captured at a hotel was returned to its owners after it was able to give its address to police.

The owner is reportedly very happy he bought that house on WhistleTweetSkwak Avenue.

YORK, Neb. (UPI) -- A Nebraska entrepreneur who had his first name legally changed to Tyrannosaurus Rex said he wanted the new moniker for the "name recognition."

Tragically, "Tyrannosaurus Rex Gold" was unable to sign the official paperwork, due to his small and useless arms.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UPI) -- Dinosaurs may have caused climate change through their flatulence, releasing enough methane to warm the climate millions of years ago, British researchers say.

But a spokesperson for the dinosaurs retorted that everyone knows he who calculated and designed the mathematical model probably the planet in gas did swaddle.

PRINCEVILLE, Quebec (UPI) -- A bacon plant caught fire overnight in Princeville, Quebec, forcing the evacuation of about 100 nearby homes, authorities said.

Nations of the world turned on Canada shortly thereafter, demanding an explanation for why the country did not immediately offer to share seeds from the bacon plant with everyone.

LONDON (UPI) -- Stars of BBC programs from the 1960s and '70s told a documentary how the station was formerly a hotbed of drugs and sex, even on children's shows.

According to an insider, "You haven't lived until you've seen a dalek orgy."

Haha, nicely done. I want to start by saying that I am, in fact, a Gangstasaurus Rex (and have a shirt that proves it), and I think that man is infringing on my rights...somehow. I also want to say that that parakeet was probably mine. I was trying to teach it to fly from my city to Woot! headquarters to deliver my fanatical messages of love...since you guys aren't returning my calls.

Lastly, a bacon plant would be epic. There is nothing quite like a fresh vine-ripened bacon slice, dripping with dew (and grease). Yum!

Yeah, we would have picked up, but we just got this new ringtone and you know how it goes, the first week you just want to hear it over and over and over...

Hi, I'm one of the writers. My powers are limited but I'll do what I can.

Yeah, I love that new Kelly Clarkson jam, too.

Weird. Why the heck does that look like a threat when typed in all caps with an exclamation at the end?

C'mon Woot writers, you really missed the mark with that 1ame "bacon plant" gag. I mean, a bacon factory on fire, the comic possibilities are endless! (I'll bet that was the best-smelling industrial fire ever!) Much less a Canadian Bacon factory; you could have slipped in a John Candy/Michael Moore reference, but no... (Pass the Backdraft Bacon, well-done, eh?)

Bacon plant? Is it a fruit or a veggie?
And am I going to be able to convince my vegetarian wife?
Hey, BLTs are now ALL veggie...except for the tomato. It's a fruit.

I feel like I am in a parallel multiverse.

The climate change joke is probably the best woot weads the wire I've seen. And I've seen hundreds. It had everything: dinosaurs, math, a rhyme scheme and an excellent use of the word "swaddle". Keep 'em comin'!

I love parakeets too. My favorite is parakeet swaddled in freshly picked bacon and roasted in a methane gas oven. Yum!

Whoever toiled over this one is probably really good at forcing clever-sounding acronyms.

But seriously, where do I get my bacon plant?

I'm sure it'll either be on home.woot or wine.woot at some point. Although the wine.woot version will probably come in some kind of tubular bacon form and include cheese and crackers.

But due to legal tight wads who regulate the Interstate Bacon Commerce (IBC) the bacon plants can only be shipped to the following states:
