Today's post is brought to you by the letter 'p' and the number '4'

P: perodactyl, not to be confused with the more common pterodactyl: a little known prehistoric creature which carried a jar of coffee substitute in its fingers at all times hence the name Pero (a brand of coffee substitute) and -dactyl (from the Greek for 'finger'.) How it was determined that it carried Pero, or how Pero could possibly have existed in the Jurassic, are not known, although some commentators have speculated that it may be related to the appearance of Mark Twain before Congress in 2006, as documented in a blog post I've now lost track of. Skeptics who say I didn't read it correctly or that the post had a typographical error are invited to read the post themselves.

Six days later?

It sounds like the title of some cheesy horror movie. "Six days after they accidentally killed a fellow student, a group of high-school friends discover they student might not be quite dead..."

No.

"The asteroid struck the earth, appropriately enough, on December 31st. Six days later..."

...umm. No.

"The killer plague was released on a Friday. Six days later..."

...it's been done.

Six days after his previous blog post?

No, no, no.

But who is this who insists "no, no, no?" Who asked you your opinion? If I want to write horror stories about revenants or asteroids or plagues or blog posts, who are you to stop me, wise guy?
