See, I assumed they were using Word when the first male bashed it with a
rock. I just figured that the defecating and urinating was a new way of
determining which font to use.
That being said, since this story deals with the end of humanity (or at
least technical writing), is the following correct?
1. "They pressed a lot of S's," researcher Mike Phillips
said Friday. (from the article)
2. The monkeys defecated and urinated on the keyboard.
3. This bodes ill for technical writing, as Wade points out:
"We are being replaced with monkeys."
ERGO
This whole thread is a new definition for eschatology. (Get it?
Ess-scat-ology)
Man, I need to go home!
