We've all played telephone right? The game where everyone sits in a circle and whispers an insanely long and confusing message into someone else's ear, and it keeps going around, and in the end it's all jumbled and funny? Well, we should play. Here are the rules:
1. Copy your name at the bottom of the list and post. No nicknames please, since this is via PM, everyone needs to be able to find you. 2. 7:00 AM Monday morning (EST) is the deadline for signing up. I will PM a story to the second person on the list. 3. This is where the integrity comes in - if you can't follow this rule - don't play. Read the story once, and then PM the next person on the list and try to tell them the story as verbatim as possible. When you do this, please CC it to me as well. 4. If you are the last person on the list, PM me and I will post the final version along with all of the previous versions so that we can all enjoy the evolution of the story.  So far we have: 1. Yannick (haha, almost broke my own rule. >_<) -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today. ~Lawrence Krauss

"The name "Chinese whispers" reflects the former stereotype in Europe of the Chinese language as being incomprehensible."

Okay, here it is.
1. Once upon a time in a galaxy not so far away, an M&M God reigned over the humans of this earth. He was a mighty ruler, providing peace to the ignorant and savage mortals of the Green planet (..or are we blue?). Unfortunately, the M&M god was dying. For he was allergic to chocolate. The world's most talented scientists were all on the search for a cure, but no one could discover one. A young boy, Edwin Blah, thought he had a solution. He went to the God, told him, had him tied down, and then smashed him with a sledgehammer. Because of Ewdin Blah, we all have the M&Ms we eat today. ..And the humans can rule themselves in peace! 2.Long ago in a galaxy far away there was an M&M God that watched over the blue planet (or is it green) umm someone told the M&M god about something and he was crunched up with a hammer or something. And thats how we get the M&Ms we have today. THE END (Izzys version was much longer but I guess I wasn't paying much attention when I read it) 3.Long ago in a galaxy far far away there was a blue planet watched over by the M&M god. For some reason which I can't remember, the M&M god was destroyed with a hammer and that's how we get M&Ms today... -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.

Yeah... Oh, want to try Eat Poop You Cat? I tried it in another forum and it worked awesomely. The actual game starts on page 4. It's not over yet, but it's so much fun.
