Reprieve

As you arrive at your next destination, a feeling of relief comes across you. Where is this...? Ah, it's a Newsweek office. No major credulity here recently, and didn't they also publish an interesting article about statistics recently?

You're about to request a trip off to another locale - the atmosphere here is nice, but you have work to do - when a reporter rushes in shouting, "Mr. Jameson! Breaking news!"

A gruff man at a nearby desk spins around in his chair and asks, "Yeah? What is it? I haven't got all day, you know!"

"Uh, sir, it seems that Scientologists are starting to claim that Tom Cruise has been imbued with the reincarnated soul of L. Ron Hubbard."

"So? Why should I care what those nutjobs are up to?"

"Because they've somehow hijacked multiple TV networks to broadcast this message," the reporter explains.

"What!?" Jameson exclaims. He motions to you. "You, whats-yer-name, turn on the TV!"

"Uh, yes sir," you say, and turn on a nearby television. True to the reporter's word, Tom Cruise is on TV broadcasting his message.

This could be bad, you think to yourself. We can't let the Scientologists get any more dupes. Could this night be their plan to do exactly that? But wait, didn't Behe act like he had something to do with it as well?

It's probably Behe behind all of this...

It's probably Cruise behind all of this...
