"I'm not saying it's good for you," muttered the Surgeon, a Marlboro red dangling from his lip, "but what is? Something's gonna kill you eventually, so I say if it looks cool, do it!"

In case a search engine is wondering, Electronic Internet News is a funny, satirical, hilarious, funny news parody website. We specialize in fake news, bogus news, and satire. Did I mention our funny jokes are funny? And I would not dare mention The Onion, America's finest news source, simply to attract attention form search engines. The Onion is to fake internet news what Mr. Show is to tv comedy. And, again, I would never make reference to the HBO series Mr. Show with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross for purposes of self promotion. In fact, this site has nothing to do with The Onion, Mr. Show, nor naked teenage cheerleaders. - Harvey Pinkus, Esq., Editor In Chief

None of the thousands of respondents chose "d", though many elected to write in their own answers, ranging from "nooscopic" to "epigrammatic".

Co-Worker Glad It's Friday
During a 5 PM walk to the parking deck, employee Daren Platt revealed to co-worker Ben Easton that he is "glad it's Friday." During the brief conversation, Platt also indicated that he has not been up to much, has been working hard, and has been staying pretty busy. He is glad this week is over. When questioned about his weekend plans, Platt became vague, saying that he has a "few things to take care of around the house", and that he plans to "take it easy".

New HOV Lane
In an effort to control the epidemic growth of traffic in the metro Atlanta area, the Georgia Department Of Transportation has designated another special multi-passenger car lane. The #8 lane will now designate passenger cars with no less than 8 occupants. In addition, all riding in this lane will be exempt from state seat belt laws, as well as federal immigration statutes. Pickup trucks and El Caminos are expected to be among those who benefit from the new law. When you hear #8, you might think of one beef taco, one buritto, and a chalupa, but now it's a lane on the throughway! "If you
don't have 8 then don't participate!"

New Photo Of JFK Jr.'s Foot
EIN has obtained this never before seen photo of the late JFK Jr.'s foot. The photo was taken shortly after America's Crown Prince sprained his ankle at a lacrosse match in 1992. Since John John's tragic death, there has been a constant push by the tabloids to find previously unpublished photos of the Heir To Camelot. We believe this to be the only existing pedal close-up of the man who was once the country's most eligible bachelor.
