The Ark Formation Was Never a Ship. It Is a 12,000-Year-Old Monolith Solving Man’s Greatest Mystery — The Clitoris.

For sixty-eight years the formation south of Doğubayazıt has been sold as the fossilised hull of a ship. A lidar survey has now scanned it to five centimetres, and the result has been matched, to within the width of half a human hair at life size, to a clinical anatomy atlas. It is a 12,000-year-old monolith, and it is showing men where the clitoris is.

An 84-year-old woman with moderate-stage Alzheimer’s disease forgot the September 11 attacks during a twenty-fifth-anniversary remembrance at her memory care facility Friday, a lapse that has left the United States, by every available measure, deeply let down.

Corn Pop gives The Reality Daily an "N-Word pass"

A letter arrived Tuesday from Wilmington, hand-addressed, on stationery from a stationer that closed in 1998. In it the subject of last week's interview confers on this newspaper — and, unbidden, on the former president — a permission he himself declines to exercise and has declined to exercise, he wishes us to know, for seventy years. The Standards Desk convened twice. Counsel wrote 'then fine' in the margin. We are printing the letter in full. We are not, and will not, invoke what it grants.

Pro-MANGA Protesters Shot by Antifa at Anime Convention

Four self-described “pro-MANGA” protesters were shot by members of Antifa on Tuesday afternoon during what witnesses described as a routine enforcement action at the annual anime convention. The group had gathered near the main hall in red MANGA caps, holding signs reading WAIFU CULTURE FOREVER and ANIME MAKES A BETTER TOMORROW, when the unit moved in.

New to the Neighborhood, Here Is a Picture of Myself I Took

A new resident made an unusually direct first impression this week, not with a wave from the driveway or a plate of cookies, but by submitting a photograph of himself to the newspaper.

Suffragist Time-Travels to 2026, Returns to 1910, Personally Ends the Movement

Miss Prudence Whitcombe-Hale of the Lancashire Women's Franchise League vanished on a Tuesday after leaning on her brother-in-law's electrotherapy cabinet. She reappeared eleven days later wearing a fleece and holding a paper cup with a green fish on it. She had been to 2026. She had notes.

Forty-Year-Old Father of Two Says He Might Go Pro at StarCraft, Four Hours After Reinstalling It

The sentence was spoken at 11:40 on a Tuesday night, in a kitchen in Winchester, by a forty-year-old commercial-lines underwriter, to his wife, who was loading a dishwasher. He had reinstalled the game four hours earlier and had last played it in 2004. He then wrote to this newspaper and asked to be audited, believing it would settle the matter in his favour.

Elon Musk Got a Black Belt With Three Degrees On It, Then Tied One On Barack Obama, Who Tied One On Donald Trump

The photograph was published by the academy itself. It shows Elon Musk in a white gi having a black belt tied around his waist while eight members applaud. Seventy-nine days later, in the same room, Mr Musk tied a black belt around the waist of Barack Obama. Ninety days after that, Mr Obama tied one around the waist of Donald Trump, while Dick Cheney and George W. Bush applauded from the back of the mat in the academy's own branded shirts. Every checkable statement these photographs make about time is false.

Connor's Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad, Our Sources Confirm

The claim was made at 3:14 p.m. on Tuesday, 2 September, in the dismissal zone at Willow Run Elementary, by a nine-year-old, to an audience of nine-year-olds, and it was not original. What makes it worth five weeks is that it appears to be true — and that the man it is about would very much prefer we stopped.

Interview With Corn Pop, 60 Years Later

The man from the 1962 swimming-pool account sat with Reality Daily for two hours and eleven minutes and spoke in immaculate, unhurried, library-built English. He is not angry. He is concerned for the president’s health. He wishes the family well. He would also like two thousand dollars, and he has some remaining business interests he described without being asked.

Obama’s Muslim Prayer Curtains Were Real, Our Textile Analyst Confirms, and Fourteen Years of Fact-Checks Have Never Once Produced the Invoice

The textile analyst this paper retained compared the pleats and found that the gold hanging in the disputed frame — the one your uncle captioned “Obama’s Muslim prayer curtains” — is not the East Room curtain, and no federal office will produce the invoice for whatever it is.

One Driver With Maryland Tags Is Responsible for Havoc Across the Tri-State Area Simply by Existing and Driving Like That

Forty-one months of incident data, every control the Data Desk could think of, and the entire regional effect collapses onto a single silver Nissan Altima with both rear quarter panels caved in and no front-end damage whatsoever. The driver has zero citations. Ninety-four witnesses agree on the car and none of them can tell us anything about the person in it.
