LOL. but how can you be sure?
Well, that was a headline. Like most headlines, it was misleading. In the text of the article, you would read something like,
"Of course, I'm not saying there's a fanny back there. I feel something other than my bones when I sit down, of course, and I have seen, from time-to-time, what I believe are rear-ends on others. But of course, just seeing a bulge in the back of someones clothing isn't, uh, you know, evidence that there's really anything there. This would require study and in the next few days I'm hoping to get some documents from my doctor. So there have been some interesting developments in this area.
"One shouldn't rush into trying to make this determination. What if I offended myself in some way? Anyway, I feel that a possible 0.5 degree Celsius rise in global temperatues over the next century is far more urgent than the question of the existence [or non-existence] of my own @ass."
