(he's gonna kill me when he sees that, teee-heee! )

Maybe he's just been eating my cooking?

Or it could be that he has been chewing his biro. Not that, for one moment, I'd suggest he is a pedant and writes letters in green ink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_ink

Wait... I'm absolutely SURE I posted the paper this morning... seems to have vanished... I'll post it again...

Special thanks to the phantom for the second story and the min-heads.



Alien's dark side starts to show... again...



I hope that it vanished because of the forum problems and not because it was inappropriate or anything.

Oh, how rude! This time they surely overdone it!

And by the way, I don't think I wish I had Indiana Jones' hat. If more people say that, I think we are going to get the picture of who the Downers who want it are by ellimination method

That only means that he is NOT counted among those who'd wish they have it; as he already HAS it. So another one apart from me who belongs to the 24%.

Provided, that the Downers together make just 100%. It may be as well possible that it's more...

I don't want his hat either. I'm more of a phrygian myself.

If Gil killed Davem (again), then what is with Davem's mass production? I'm beginning to suspect that not all of the items on fire and display by Gil are roadkill.

Anyone who has read the first edition of The Downer will know that an evil genius was involved in some way.

Oh, that evil genius... I thought the paper was talking about you, Hookbill.

I am very much hoping that that sign behind Gil is photoshopped....And if it is how did you do it? I am trying to photoshop this sign into saying "Welcome to Mordor" but cannot quite pull it off.

By the way I find the sideline comment of "Man falls in toxic waste, devlops super-power "I can die incredibly fast!" very charming, and yes I mean it.

Hate to say it, but all I know about Doctor Who is that it's some sort of sci-fi tv show.

So no, I actually didn't have that in mind when I wrote the headline. But it's good to see that I make interesting references that people enjoy even when I don't mean to.

I've watched Dr. Who like 12 times... there was this one really creepy episode, anyway yes Dr. Who is a Sci Fi TV show, I bet you could look it up on Wikipedia...

Anyway as I was going to say, how can 63% of people say they don't take surveys and this information comes from a survey... I am going to sue the Downer for fraudulent claims! I don't want to read a newspaper that does not give off information that is correct!

I know that Elvis isn't dead because I saw him last week on my tele Live from Hawaii, I must say that he looked good and had lost lots of weight.
