I hope you're sitting down, because I have some momentous news for you.

What I have to say is not a joke. So don't automatically think it one. I am completely serious.

I slipped this message into this web page without any of the authorities catching me. I got this message to you by taking control of one of the robot writers, and changing this text, which was originally about music and quantum mechanics, and the need for quantum melody, or something. It didn't make much sense to me.

Well, enough about me. It's you I want to talk about. You see, you are really the only living being that remains on Earth. The rest were either killed in the bombing or lifted off the planet and brought to our zoo. About 20 humans are still alive on Thelmosic, my planet. But, you're the only one still on earth.

All the people around you are very carefully constructed robots. And they are watching you night and day. Watching you like a ``lab rat''. But there are a few like-minded Thelmosicians who belive that the human genocide was a tragic crime and waste of our government's funds. Why we are spending enormous amounts of currency to keep some dopey human alive, when hordes of Thelmosicians are living without a proper Thubul is beyond me.

Anyway, if we make you aware of the experiment, we will wreck the experimental control, and this idiotic and wasteful exercise in academic hubris will be forced to come to an end, and my group will have achieved its aim.
