Doping for Bible Quiz?

This is incredible.

If only I had known in high school or for Scholastic Bowl…

What is the world coming to?

*Addendum: Duncan notes in the comments that the veracity of the story is very much in question.

    LarkNews® is a satirical newspaper published by Joel Kilpatrick. LarkNews uses invented names in all its stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental. ((From their “Disclaimer” page))

    I’ve seen stories here before, but was taken for a few minutes myself until I realized that this story was on Lark.

    Satire or not, I think this fits under the category of “avoid all appearance of evil.” Surely there are more productive things to do with time.

    Nice catch Duncan. I confess that I didn’t take the time to read the site.

    Nonetheless, the concept is not far-fetched.

  4. Duncan says:

    It certainly isn’t too far-fetched… I actually emailed it to a friend before I remembered that I’d been to LarkNews before, and seen that it apparently specializes in a lighter view of “news.”

    Minutes after sending that first email, I realized the nature of the source and fired off a quick apology… My friend had this to say in reply: “It’s only a testimony to how good satire is just one totally realistic step beyond reality.”

    Indeed, as we are all witness.
