Tom McNichol's rendition of The Story of Creation (via Twitter) on The Huffington Post is brilliant in so many ways. It's satire at its best - it pushes the point to the extreme, yet feels like it could be "real." All while making a pithy point of social (media) commentary (is this what we've become?). Oh...and it's hilarious, too!
I give it the highest praise I can offer: I wish I had written this.
Have yourself a laugh...and think about it.
Day One
Let there B-lite. OMG! Or shld I say Oh Me! It’s so much easier 2-C now. WTF was I thinking B4? Spent the rest of the day dividing lite from drkness. It is good. :-)
Day Two
Made a firmament (sort of a dome thing) to divide the waters under firmament from the waters above. Assigned firmament the file name <heaven>. +<:-)
Day Three
Gathered waters and let dry land appear. Dry land tagged <earth>, waters tagged <seas>. Uploaded grass and herb-yielding seed into <earth> folder. GR8!
Day Four
More lighting wk. Installed 1 great lite to rule day [<sun>] & lesser lite to rule night [<moon>]. Beta tested them & everything seems to work. It is gd. :-D
Day Five
Bushed from tweaking fish & fowl files. They wouldn’t be fruitful and multiply until I found it’s a simple <duplicate> command. >:-? Thank Me It’s Friday.
Day Six
Created 2 humans, file names <adam> and <eve>. At last - I now have 2 Twitter followers! Tweeting just to myself is sooo Day One. LOL! ;-)
Day Seven
