Turkey Juice
Provides Super Powers
Today's
news: Tryptophan, amino acid found heavily in turkey flesh,
was once thought to be merely a sedative, chemically lulling people
to sleep after they gorge themselves on this yummy holiday. However,
as one medical journal that's questionably reputable states, this
chemical can actually have a wide variety of positive affects on
the humans that consume it. Take a careful look at this list before
you sit down for your feast this evening, as these are some of the
strange things tryptophan could do to you:
- X-ray vision
- Flight (a.k.a.
levitation)
- Uncontrollable
urge to mope
- Increased
saliva production (we're talking gallons)
- Colorful "PG"
rated hallucinations
- Diminished
ability to grasp objects with toes
Be warned, and
have a jolly Thanksgiving.

Marine Life
Has Something to Say
In
today's Guest Columns, resident animal expert
Yurivich Gruskenvald reports on a story ranging from the depths
of the ocean floor to the depths of church basements. Fish all around
the world are voicing their disapproval for the use of their body
shape as a Christian and an Evolutionist icon. Hear from influential
leaders of both parties as well as top ranking pillars of the fish
community in this debate in Fish Speak
Out Against Creation Philosophies!
Almost Enough
Articles to Shake a Stick At
It's
quite a big number, 150. It's not only fifteen times ten and the
age of actress Goldie Hawn, but it's the number of articles the
Syndicate has to offer! Yes, today's newest piece was number 150
for us, and we couldn't be more proud. In celebration, Jason purchased
a small bag of jelly beans which was promptly shared around the
room. Even the black ones were eaten. Joy!

Deceased Evolutionist
Apparently Alive and Well
We
here at the Syndicate were a tad shocked today when this character
showed up at our offices. Yeah, that's Darwin all right. He came
to us with his head firmly attached to a new, severely downsized
body, asking for a mascot job. How do you say no to a guy that cute?
Thus, here he is, our newest mascot. He'll
perform his mascotish duties until we grow tired of him, at which
point he'll be escorted from the building by Hank the security guard!

Uninvited
Guests Attempt to Disturb Things
Been
to the Forums recently? If you have,
you may have noticed how they were "hacked" a few days
ago. Even though practically no damage was done and it was a nothing
more than a minor inconvenience, rest assured that the point of
hacking the Forums in the first place was nonexistent! Regardless,
Today's Syndicate Press features
a new article by Chris Clark inspired by the event. Take a look
back in history at how the modern hacker, or in this case, the wannabe
hacker has evolved in Cyber-Seige
Throughout Time!
