Stranger Than Fiction

[mbasic]

A co-worker (russian, middle aged, converted christian) gets all his news from his fellow cultists via Whats-app messenger.

Apparently, 1 missionary from his cult was in Wuhan to donate blood. Everyone was healed instantly by the holy blood of the christian. Therefore, christians are immune and the virus a conspiracy by the USA.

There you have it folks, all you heathens will die.

I would have a good laugh if I didn't have to work with those jackasses.

funny twist would be the missionary-donor getting AIDS or blood infection from dirty needle, etc

Yeah. I don't believe there was a missionary in the first place though.

"Speed is believed to be a “contributing factor” in the crash..."

Somehow, everything after "7 year old driver" seems moot.

We are officially beyond parody. I like how they bury the fact that this woman was fired over this stupid incident:

This story is incredible. Even if the newsletter people were the worst people in the world, how could the ebay people think what they did was OK?

Here’s a dude that was well ahead of his time.

Lol at giving him a literal carton of Winstons. Still waiting on the fusion reactor..

and thought, "monkey labour, is this a nickname for some kind of way people are exploited..." and I looked it up, apparently it is a thing: training monkeys to pick coconuts.

Think of all the vegans slurping on their coconut oil who just don't know! Save the monkeys! ook
