1) Your fame will be lasting

2) Girls will love you

3) If you dont' want girls to love you, then guys will love you

4) Studies show that submitting articles to TWG have resulted in no deaths by cancer. A biopsy on the 29 rats who have died of cancer showed no solid connection to the articles they submitted.

5) Who else is going to publish you?

6) All the cool kids are doing it.

7) It makes you sound smrt. I mean, smart.

Oooh, ooh, I wanna be smrt! Maybe I'll finally get around to revising that Tor paper I wrote... Or I could just write a poll that doesn't put people to sleep. ;)

In rat yes, but the puppies all got cancer within a week of submitting their articles.

True, but since most of their articles were titled "My visit to the nuclear dump site," we chose to throw those results out.

Boobies are awesome. *nod/
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

It was just a bot. The original post was just a long string of links

Hey, now that just ain't fair, those puppies gave thier lives for those articles, you should at least give them some credit!

As for those that nearly recovered and then died suddenly I only have this to say; Those animals would of died anyway! You have no proof it was me!

As an editor, I feel compelled to point this out because it's a funny mistake. It's would've (i.e. would have) not would of. They sound similar, but have totally differen't meanings. Funny! :D

No, she's like an editor editing everything she sees because she has the editing bug.

Also, necromancy=bad
