Update: I wrote this in a state of shock. TStanley's a stand up dude. I meant nothing personal. I was just shocked that someone bothered to "correct" such a silly little post. I guess duplicate posts of any kind can be annoying. From now on, I assure you, I will be searching before posting *anything*.

wow, you know, you're right. when i read it the second time it wasn't funny at all!

are we so picky now that double posts about something as simple as this will get us worked up? rememeber that article was supposed to be satire. this little exchange makes it feel eerily true. To those who, for whatever reason, are very pissed off that this little piece of humor was posted twice, i apologize that i didn't search first. I had the silly idea that maybe humor was just a nice enough thing to post that I just did it instead of going through my typical "before posting" ritual. man, I'll stop typing now before I saw something extremely rude.
