Halloween!
- Juvenile Candy Intake Rises 7500%, Seniors Mumble About Generation
Happy Halloween!
Ha-ha! It seems the holiday most widely associated with stomach
discomfort and irritating children is finally upon us! We here at
the Syndicate are taking all kinds of measures to make this your
best Halloween EVER! For example, please note the orange and black
text in today's Newsreel, and the image of a pumpkin to your left.
Will the fun never stop?

Extra! Extra!
Yet another section added to the Syndicate!
As if the syndicate
wasn't chalked full of sections already, we felt another one would
fit perfectly. Now a lovely little column sits just below those
stylish navigating buttons on the home page. This column shows what's
new in Extra! Usually, Extra!
will contain all sorts of articles and such that just don't fit
elsewhere (puzzles, mostly.) Check out Extra's first addition: Pure
Logic I.

Dave the Wombat
Recovering from Test-Induced Mental Trauma - A Nation Rejoices
Thankfully, Dave
the Wombat, official mascot of the Reality Syndicate, is gradually
recovering from mild psychological trauma caused by recent testing
by resident Animal Psychoanalyst Yurivich Gruskenvald. Dr.
Gruskenvald's first analysis of Dave still left many questions
in the air, so recent testing was performed in order to determine
the mental nature of the cute, fuzzy little burrowing marsupial
native to Australia and Tasmania. Please stay tuned for details
on the testing.

Pizzazz Added
to Front Page: Viewers Shocked
Take a moment,
if you would, to observe and possibly marvel at the lovely Flash
animation you see before you. If you don't have the Flash plugin,
you really should get it, because I'll tell you right now, you're
really missing out. Like that animation above, for example. You
wouldn't be able to see it. Anyway, it's been newly completed and
marks the beginning of a whole line of graphic and content updates
to the Syndicate, so stay tuned!

Love is in
the Air
At least for
Syndicate Co-Creator Chris Clark. Have a peek at the delightful
sonnet he wrote to his
girlfriend Casey on their two month anniversary, because their happiness
is something everyone should celebrate!

Take a Stroll
Through the Archives
The Archives
section was created today, providing access to the histories of
both the NewsReel and General
News. Of course, not much is there yet, but as time goes on
those archives will grow to be more than six and a half feet tall!
If that's taller than you are, you shouldn't scoff at these archives
because someday they'll be bigger than you.

A NewsReel
Is Born
The Syndicate
has now created a psuedo-column that sits right up top on the home
page. The NewsReel will be home to ideas and thoughts form the syndicate
creators that have little or no basis in logic or reality. Keep
your eyes open, because an archive of all NewsReel drivel may soon
appear.

Let's Get
Enlightened
With all of the
new age trends popping up every fifteen seconds nowadays, who can
keep up? Well, the newest of all of these trends is this odd new
religion exposed in Chris Clark's "Wouldn't
be Masterpieces from Won't Be Geniuses." Could this be
where you want to foolishly dump your life savings?

New Front
Page at Last!
It's very true
that the Reality Syndicate has been changing only slowly in the
past month or so. Now, after a long quiet period, the site will
be humming with activity and annoying showtunes once again! Check
back often, because there's bound to be something new frequently.
