- SERO Scientist Presents Groundbreaking Metaphysics Theory.... In Comic Sans
Hillsdale University was home to academic uproar as a brilliant young presenter was laughed out of his own dissertation because of poor professional choice in power point font. SPU’s computer science department, home of timely and comedic hacks, immediately responded to the news from their rival school of corporate higher learning with a virus that change the default font of all of Hilldale’s campus computers to 14-point bolded magenta in the dreaded chubby typeface.
- SPHS Closes Wakerose Manor, "Ghostbusters" Speculated
Without warning, the Siren's Port Historical Society closed the doors of Wakerose Manor Museum today. Despite the house's recent troubles with what is alleged to be poltergeists, the Society has been adamant about keeping the museum's doors open for patrons, making the sudden closing of the museum a suspicious move.
Rumor has it that the Society has commissioned a crew of "ghostbusters" to deal with the manor's problems and that the museum was closed to prepare for their arrival, though there has been no comment from the Society's leadership. SPHS President Susan Martin refused to speak to reporters from her room in the rehabilitation ward of Siren's Port General Hospital, where she has been since taking a fall down the steps at the museum a month and a half ago.
-AGI Starlet Stuns by Showing in Public with SERO Wonderchild
The highly acclaimed Miss Clarice Devine, star of several of AGI's burlesque masterpieces, was seen last night in the arms of James Alan Marker, the young man responsible for SERO's recent leaps in handheld nulling technology.
The pair were spotted at the star studded midnight showing of 'A Spot of Wonder', AGi's recent trip into coming of age cinema, a theater employee, who wishes to remain anonymous, apparently found the pair in her booth after the end of the picture.
"They were really goin' at it, you know?" Said the employee, who was sent to find the AGI darling after she failed to meet her manager after the showing on time. "Didn't look like some kinda one time hook up to me, if you ask me either. Not that it's any of my business, but it looked to me like this wasn't their first time round the bend, if you know what I mean."
Neither could be reached for comment, though Devine's father, Charles Dorn, spoke for her early this morning.
"Clarice has always danced to her own tune." Said Dorn, in an exclusive. "You've seen her films, probably read her blog. She's her own girl, and knows what she wants. If she wanted this boy, she could have him. No question."
No word from either camp about what this could mean for either of their careers, but this kind of scandal never comes without some kind of cost.
The article finishes by saying several scandalous things about various cross company relationships that failed horribly, mentioning especially the ones with some sort of espionage involved, and ends in a horrible comparison to Romeo and Juliet that should offend anyone who actually has read the play.
