More news concerning yesterday’s inaugural Freedom from Thinking Day celebrations. Police report the death toll has risen to over 670 deaths with most deaths a result of a large number of car accidents and a major explosion at the Oshugga Nuclear Facility that took the lives of over 200 plant employees. Plant spokesmen, Ronold Eberhart, told us that apparently no one thought to use the manual override when the cooling system failed to sufficiently cool the reactor core because they were enjoying a day where they weren’t expected to think.
Other events from yesterday include a prison break that resulted in 67 escaped prisoners, all calls to the 9-1-1 Emergency service going unanswered and 2 transplant patients at the hospital died when their surgeons didn’t show up.
When Mayor Chumby announced the Freedom from Thinking Day last month as a celebration of all the great thinkers of the past century, like Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein, critics railed the idea as “poorly thought out and a recipe for disaster.”
