    Yesterday: Nobody gets that anymore, we don’t have to monitor it any more.

    Today: Turns out, the reason nobody was getting that, was because we were monitoring it.

    NOBODY could have predicted that!

    That’s because the parasite got into Ole Gravel Gullet’s brain, fucked the dead worm, and then hijacked his last 6 brain cells to make the old bastard his puppet.

      The title is correct and needs no punctuation, though it is hard to read. They stopped monitoring the parasite that is now causing diarrhea.

    You’ll probably find that the EPA rollbacks we’ve been doing around irrigation laws is what’s causing the issue in the first place. Too much poop in the salad mix.

              They are in the Bible, had to look it up, it looks like popular fiction often replaces conquest with pestilence since conquest and war are so similar

            You are correct, apparently a lot of media/fiction authors swap conquest to pestilence because they feel like it’s too close to war.

            I had to look it up specifically for pestilence because I was so confused how I got the idea.

            So yeah I had that wrong, biblical speaking
