Technically, satire's been around longer...and not just on websites and
blogs.  :)  I still remember the "Microsoft buys the Vatican"...and Darwin 
lists.

The blog may be new, but unfortunately, I predate The Onion (and have
been spoofing a lot longer than I care to remember.)  (Remember the ARPANET?
oh dear...has it really been 20 years?  I was very very very young and 
that's my
story and I'm sticking with it.)

Besides, I'm not trying to trick people into thinking the spoof is real.  :)

And you never know, Halo 26 may end up with cloning available!  One can
only hope...or is that really a good thing?  That would also imply that Halo 
will
end up with a 26 version...and probably not overly innovative....hmmm....

Cheers!
