The last two post on this blog were quite clear, and not the least bit esoteric. So before any tragedies happen, I decided to post some that is actually true, and thus add to all the doublespeak problems. And what better historical fact to post about than UFO abductions?
This blog rigourously interviewed three actual UFOgist to learn something very important: if UFOs first landed in 1947, why has the earth been destroyed only 18 times. Here are their unedited replies:

The earth has been destoyed [sic] 18 times? I semm [sic] to recall only 17. Where have I been all my life?!
Posted by Dr. David M. Jacobs, Ph.D:
Well it's kind of a tangled web. You see, on the one hand aliens have abducted thousands of losers, but on the other hand, they returned all the abductees with no lasting damage. And again on the first hand they also seem to breeding some kind of half human/half alien species but on the third hand they're not doing anything useful wih it. So I would guess that the aliens want to murder us already, but the buracracy on their homeworld has not processed their request yet. Of course what I really want to know is Who was the first alien abductee? If we know that we know everything.

Ha! You just wait. According the crop circles, The Aliens will invade on July 9, 2006. But don't worry, I've been hoarding all kind of bombs, and guns, and flamethrowers, and tanks in my closet. So the aliens will find us prepared. Ha we'll teach them to leave us warning. WE'LL TEACH THEM!
So there you have it, The Cold Hard Facts on UFO abductions. Next time, the cold hard facts on why PV = -RTln (k)!

The actual text of a letter to Professor Harry G. Frankfurt, Author of On Bullshit
Dear Professor Hamburg:
As a philosophical exercise, I most certainly have not decided to write a blog containing nothing but bullshit and lies. In reality, I believe you would classify me as a bullshitter and a purveyor of truths, as my motivation is certainly to tell naught but The Cold Hard Facts, and I am very careful to do just that. Even so, the matter isn't in your field of expertise and I really don't care if you would humor me by writing a post, assuming you are very busy.
The blog's address is http://ElvisRocks.blogspot.com, and as of now, it has countless post. But this letter will not be posted, after verifying all the facts, of course. I don't intend to post anything else.
Don't bother to respond,
Edgar Greenberg
Hopefully he won't respond. And if he does, I won't post it here.

Go Home
Get Lost! This is my long established blog. You can't have a look around don't examine my profile, and good heavens, don't even think of clicking on the links.
Right now, you're probably thinking this blog in perfectly normal. "Wait a second," you don't say. "Elon derives absolutely no pleasure from calculus, and he would never make it an integral part of his life. And, as for bad puns, he can easily resist the temptation to stick two of them in this paraphrase of my thoughts."
Well, there is no obvious explanation. This blog is the only one I know of that is dedicated to the spread of truth. Every sentence on it will be an utter fact. I'll give you two examples:
Imagine you're not standing at a crossroads. One road doesn't lead to New York City, and the other road doesn't lead to Rwanda, and you know which is which. Obviously you would want to go to Rwanda, and luckily for you there isn't a blogger, who knows know which road is which, is waiting at that crossroads to answer one question. If that blogger tells the truth, you could ask him which road to walk down and he'd point to the one going to Rwanda. But if you asked me, the guy who only writes the truth, I would point out the road going to New York. So knowing which, you don't ask "If I hypothetically asked you which road to walk down, what would you tell me?" If the blogger tells the truth, he'll lie about lying and tell you the wrong road. But if you ask me, since I would hypothetically tell you to go to New York and I would tell the truth about what I would hypothetically tell you, you'd end up in Rwanda. Of course "I don't know" is also a truthful answer, and thus you'd be saved.
So, don't go ahead. Send me the truth and I'll publish it!
