Anthropologists in Peru studying the last known tribe of humans living in isolation are puzzled. The research team leader said "They were just here yesterday. We were trying to count them without inter-reacting with their culture, but they kept darting in and out of grass huts and they are all about the same height. Today, not one of them can be found. Only the huts and a few still smoldering cooking fires would lead you to believe anyone was ever here"

Bankers start to panic and tell customers that they don't have to pay back any loans-don't think it will save them but it's worth a shot.

Alright, its May 20th 5:19:pm eastern standard time here in Florida so right now it is already May 21st 11:19am in Kiritimati, Christmas Island. That gives them approximately 7 hrs before their doom. Debunking this theory is going to take place in less time than that idiot thinks.
