I offer my apologies for cross-posting a couple of news articles/blogs that turned out to be a hoax. Since they came from normally trustworthy sites, I posted them. While I'm very glad that the story isn't true, the fact that someone perpetrated such a hoax is also quite disturbing. Many lessons learned!

Even The LA Time, The Newyorker, The New York Times get it wrong or even hoodwinked.

Don't feel to bad, Z.

Yeah, there is a reason that the dinosaur media is on a deathwatch, that's just one of them.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

And, while the benefits at Susan's are great, I don't get paid as much as them  ;)

Which story was a hoax?

Edit- nevermind, heh. It's okay, Zythyra.  Everyone gets taken in sometimes, especially if it's what one believes is a trusted source.

Be glad that you're not relying on the staff salary to pay for them. :)

Oh your right. I do my own laundry and have learned not to rely on anyone for anything. besides, I'm not on the staff and would never wish to be.

I thought you had to get the Susan's Miles first.  The millage formula looks like something from quantum physics and involves the phases of the moon.  I haven't even looked!

Well as official keeper of the staff garage, I love having all of these vehicles at my beck and call 24/7.  But I can be bribed.







There are a lot more where that came from.  I think that Z gets first choice for having to deal with this crapola.

Oh, and did I mention, I can be bribed?
