I knew it I knew it, no one believed it. They’re lurking in every corner waiting to take over the world.

So let me get this straight. Some UK biscuit maker, commissioned some lab to do a study, sighting who dangerous their competitor’s biscuits were, compared to their own product no doubt. Proving, with enough money, you can subvert science in practically every field of research. Biscuits! Really!

BTW, I’ve been seeing this movie “Juggernaut” rerun on the “THIS” network. And near the start, the bomb defuser Tony Fallon, is working on a bomb built out of a biscuit tin, and left in a public place. So you see just how dangerous biscuits can be. Someone must have REALLY had it in for English biscuits, to make a bomb out of them.

Monty Python actually did write this type of story. The only difference being that they thought that the evil food would turn people into Scotsmen.

I guess it all depends on the country & its countrymen. I read a Norweigian here that claims he’s happy with this kind of crap because “… If this is taking away our right so fu*k it, I don’t want a right to kill my self slowly and cheaply.”

Just a peek into the mind of someone who gives a crap about his rights.

“An estimated 25 million adults have been injured while eating during a tea or coffee break… ”

I guess it’s a good thing they have National Health.

Obviously, injuries suffered during any activity should lead to the complete and utter cessation of that activity.

New survey sez:
At some time in one’s life, one will be injured, unexpectedly. Obviously the conclusion is that no person should be allowed to live life.

RTFA:

“Research company Mindlab International were commissioned by Rocky, a chocolate biscuit bar maker, to conduct the research.”

If a private company wants to throw its money away on something useless like this, so be it. McCullough is trying to insinuate that this is somehow tied to the British nanny state; I see no evidence of from the article.

I predict this time next year biscuits and “eating during a morning tea break” will be banned in the UK. The entire population will be required to view at least 20 hours of CCTV footage from camera’s throughout their neighbors house, including video of their underage teenage daughters in the shower, to monitor for illegal “biscuit” or rug munching activities.

Its a sad but common occurrence that many Brits have been savaged by wild badgers in the course of acquiring a biscuit to have with their tea. Why wont the government DO something?
