#11  OS and others,

Maybe fake ...maybe not. How better to hide something that to out it and let folks call it parody. Me thinks it worked for the Stealth fighter...yup we got alien aircraft flyin' overhead

#10  Don't feel bad, OS. In a double-blind comparison test, 73.8% of the subjects were unable to tell ScrappleFace articles from API news blurbs. (sure, I just made that up. So what! It *could* be true)

Hey, you're false, but I'm accurate.

Made-up, but accurate?

My Parody Alert started buzzing while reading the article about polar bears suffering from heat exhaustion where the hunter's name was Jeremiah Johnson.

#5  actually while reading it i wondered is this a product supposidly of 'scaler weaponry' or whatever its called - look i can say this seriously before you start because im sat here smoking, lol - but these weather programs have been around for years - yeah i know in so much as its making the rain fall and shit when crops need a drink, but in the huge picture of technolagy,scientists,goverment and all that crap is it too far off to believe some goverments with money to burn or extort wouldnt want a slice of the pie if they could get it ,mmm pie, hell back before atom bombs and the thermo nuclear era came about people were quated as saying trying to create a weapon from atoms is absurd or something similar. I don't know (i can see you nodding lol) but is this truly to far out to envision at least a level of interest and research from certain goverments? I think goverments are intersted certainly but not in area 51 sytle with greys and saucers and sht but probably some dull office situated in some dull city in some on think tank type organisation - DARPA or something similar. Anyway que X-files theme and use the force :)

#3  OldSpook, its a parody. Check out the other 'stories'. He has some good stuff.

#2  I want some of what he's smoking! Except it would probably cost me my clearance and job.

I've been to Nellis. No big deal, just things the bad guys shouldn't know about. Believe me if we had alien space weapons and weather control, Iran and the Norks would not be around.

#1  Yes, very. ;-)

I like the part where Al-ien Gore is mentioned: "The concern now is that he might not be as friendly to humanity as he was thought to be, and that his appearance on Earth might be part of a planned alien takeover attempt. People willingly giving power to this 'freak' would be much more effective than an 'Independence Day' style invasion."

Priceless. ;-)
