Since We Last Met

Well, let’s see where do I start? Forbes Magazine has once again named Bill Gates the richest man around, Mike Tyson invented a new style of boxing he could really sink his teeth into, Apple Computer threw another ship’s captain over the side, Intel stock jumped 58%, the 30th anniversary of John Coltrane’s death, and the 50th anniversary of what the government affectionately refers to as”The Roswell Incident”. Wait!!! This just in from our reporter out in the field (Marvin Floyd, mfloyd©dbintellect.com):

MARS AIR FORCE DENIES STORIES OF UFO CRASH

Valles Marineris (MPI) - A spokesthing for Mars Air Force denounced as false rumors that an alien space craft crashed in the desert, outside of Ares Vallis on Friday. Appearing at a press conference today, General Rgrmrmy The Lesser, stated that “the object was, in fact, a harmless high-altitude weather balloon, not an alien spacecraft”.

The story broke late Friday night when a major stationed at nearby Ares Vallis Air Force Base contacted the Valles Marineris Daily Record with a story about a strange, balloon-shaped object which allegedly came down in the nearby desert, “bouncing” several times before coming to a stop, “deflating in a sudden explosion of alien gases”. Minutes later, General Rgrmrmy The Lesser contacted the Daily Record telepathically to contradict the earlier report.

General Rgrmrmy The Lesser stated that hysterical stories of a detachable vehicle roaming across the Martian desert were blatant fiction, provoked by incidences involving swamp gas. But the general public has been slow to accept the Air Force’s explanation of recent events, preferring to speculate on the “other-worldly” nature of the crash debris. Conspiracy theorists have condemned Rgrmrmy’s statements as evidence of “an obvious government cover-up”, pointing out that Mars has no swamps.
