Really like the context fairy at the end. Great addition to lies :)

Why don't you do a series on JR Oppenheimer and why the government failed to warn people in communities nearby Las Cruses about the dangers from the atom bombs he was testing? It's only fair if we all know the impacts on everyone who experienced their destructive power.

If the Supreme Chicken and the Supreme Pig [which is bafflingly labelled the "King Pig" in Angry Birds, which is confusing because, in my general experience of working with pigs, pigs have no understanding whatsoever of Government, or Governmental systems] formed an alliance, then I imagine humanity, as a species, would be done for. To give you a brief update on our animals, incidentally, on the day your pig video was released, I learned that our elderly sow has just passed away after a short illness; my colleagues are planning to get a new pig later on, and we were making the acquaintance of our new sheep for the first time yesterday; from what I have seen of her, she seems to be a lot more shy than the others and just hangs around with the other sheep.
