According to the strange people who talked to my boss this morning, those sheets of paper didn't even come from this Universe at all. It turns out that those strange-looking people who talked to my boss this morning are actually theoretical physicists. They looked at the evidence and deduced (using scientific methodology, of course) that there is a wormhole/gateway inside the printer that connects this Universe with a parallel Universe very, very similar to ours.

Now, I know this is pretty weird, but like I said before it is technically possible. I suspected this all along. Of course, I'm going to try to get more evidence of what's going on. I especially want to look at the papers that appeared in the output tray of the printer this morning....

Do the forum a favor and stop posting here.

Y'all make it sound like I'm making this up. Why is this so unbelievable anyways? It's not the first time I've seen strange occurrences at my workplace...

Because it's a well known fact that you are a failure at life.

Booo. Going all Warehouse 13 on us takes the fun out of the thread. Obvious silliness > obvious fiction.

Sounds more like Fringe

Geez, you wasted this here? Had so much potential as a stand-alone parody thread too!

I wonder if anyone actually bothered to check and see if there really is any paper int he paper tray, and that the paper tray sensor is actually working.

Parody threads make the baby mod jebus cry. :beer:

Only the bad ones.

those are the only kind I've ever seen.

Arcadio sucks at execution. That is what makes him an amateur.

I think I should mention that I work in a software development company, so we are all good at problem-solving. The paper is not returning to the paper tray from whence it came.

Does that include the genius who took several minutes to figure out how to get a printer to work with an access panel open?

EDIT: Just read the final update. Arcadio is still a troll. So much for giving him the benefit of the doubt.

wow, you really got us good! i think you got too close to the wormhole and it sucked your brain out into that parallel dimension.

isnt there a rule against intentional lie/troll/scam/nowheremom threads?

Yeppa. A good entertainer knows when to call it quits. The last two updates were very weak.
