DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
Hey! You know that cool post you saw today?
You know the one.
The one that was funny, no scary!
No, thought-provoking….
No, it was the one that proved a point you already believed…
Well anyway, even though aunt Helen, or cousin Joe, or that cool girl Stacey,
or even your annoying but constantly present on social media coworker Karen
(no one cares about your cat’s inner monologue, Karen)!
Even though they shared it this morning,
there’s something we need you to do before you hit “share.”
Please, please, PLEASE!
For the love of Sagan,
CHECK YOUR FACTS FIRST!
Do a quick google,
look for dissenting articles,
or at the very least…
Click on the link first.
Because,
that KILLER SPIDER THAT KILLED 5 PEOPLE AND THEY’RE DEAD?
It was a woodlouse spider.
And it never killed anyone.
Ever…
So pull up a chair,
and a set of headphones,
grab your thinking cap,
and join us for some reasoned discourse,
meant for more than shares and likes
(though we wouldn’t say no to some)
Here on THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE!
