one of the funniest things i've seen in a long time

And what would that be…?

An empty post…funny indeed…“lol”???

Probably people responding to nothing.

Except for a Moderator saying “Locked for obviouse reasons”.

Ah, but the replies so far have been in response to comments made prior. Thus everyone including myself are hardly replying to nothing.

In reality the only one replying to nothing would be the first reply, which is Friday13 :stuck_out_tongue:

Gee, thanks for making me stand out :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, now it works…Now that’s funny…
lol
Here’s my masterpiece:

Now where’s that Nobel prize!!!:smiley:

I have 6 reams of the works of Samuel Beckett STILL IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING!
It even says the same thing exactly shown in the picture.
This will be worth a lot of money one day.

Zazu, that looks like the image on page 43. Actually, the same image is also on page 21, but is smaller and more difficult to make out.

In the words of Samuel Beckett:

" "

forgery!!! im pm-ing an administrator right away!!!

:stuck_out_tongue:

It’s so artistic!

Hahah, yeah right. What the heck does “Artistic” mean?

Hahahahaha. A great one from the onion. :smiley:

how typical, I lol’ed

Ha LoL, Its incredible the interpretation you can come up with when you know the author. If I found a 23 page blank notebook in my library I’d think it would be a unused notebook, not a masterpiece :slight_smile:

It’s like the modern art galleries where you have a blank canvas with a blue dot in the middle and you sell that for a few millions dollars.

“Nothingness sure is something isnt it?”

That is amazing. I bet it is a riviting play /sarcasm.
What the hell. Its a blank manuscript. It is pretty sad when a blank note book is mistaken for your greatest work. Am i the only one that thinks that? The part that was realy great is when they said they found a blank 80 page notebook and said it was a rough draft. I guess he really slimmed it down from 80 to 23 pages.

It would be if it wasn’t a joke. :slight_smile:

The Onion is pretty funny stuff. I like the opinions the best.

They sure know how to post news before they happen.

I ought to sue for plagiarism.

I swear, I have several notebooks, from highschool ,that match that exact play. Word for word.

:smiley:

Isnt there a copyright still in effect for a song, that is 30 seconds of pure silence?.. This reminds me of that. I really dont get how you can copyright silence. But If i remember right, someone did it. oh… google just helped me with finding that, an old CNN article over the copyright debate over silence. And this is actually serious. http://archives.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Music/09/23/uk.silence/

And who said life isnt funny, IMO real life is much more sad/tragic/hillarious than any story ever contrived by the imagination :slight_smile:

oh, btw, you guys get that the onion is probably the most fake news source on the internet right?

Oh for f(expletive)s sake - this is yet another example where people, with really, nothing else better to do, trying to make something out of nothing. That bloke wasn’t a genius, he just couldn’t be a**ed to use a ruddy pen.
