We should have a “Ya’ll gotta be kidding!” Department.

The only place we can archive this is into the” Serendipisticikuty” Department.

Please note the red text in the notice below (added by your editor.)  How much did this “warning of accidents” that haven’t happened cost the government to generate? Where are the Myth-Busters when you really need them?.

When will “We the Poople” regain the power to stop some of this nonsense?. . EDITOR
