R.I.P. Facts

Over the centuries, Facts became such a prevalent part of most people's lives that Irish philosopher Edmund Burke once said: "Facts are to the mind what food is to the body."

To the shock of most sentient beings, Facts died Wednesday, April 18, after a long battle for relevancy with the 24-hour news cycle, blogs and the Internet.

Brilliant!

Of course it is possible that Facts will turn up sometime saying "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." He may then point out that while this quote is commonly attributed to Samuel L. Clemens it was actually said by a primitive depth-recording device, connecting it directly to Subsim.com.

Rumor, Innuendo and Emphatic Assertion. Gotta love it.

I thought you'd be the one to get the biggest kick out of it, Steve.

Facts are dead. And rumor is that Theory and Proof aren't feeling any better...
