It was a poe, just like the above, but we were playing along until you got here. :livid:

If you follow the link behind the title, you will see that it takes you to The Onion - that should be enough. :mrgreen:
:doh: That's where I read it.

But the onion is such a trustworthy news source, surely?

That's not pleading. That's like puppy dog eyes a child throws.

I mean pleading or appealing the way a scientist might with his palms facing out or thumbing his palm with his fist. Pleading forcefully.

Everyone knows gravity is caused by His Noodliness The Flying Spaghetti Monster touching us with his noodly appendages. That's why midgets are so short, because to the FSM they are special and he touches them the most.
