*On the TV screen is a female news anchor taking*
"Three days ago in the morning, a Taronixok cod fisherman ventured out to fish cod, today, just a few hours ago, the fisherman returned. He claimed to have discovered a new land. He was telling everyone, his friends, his family, he even posted it on his blog: "A Digital Diary For A Mundane Fisherman", and his Facebook. This is what he had to say about it:"
*The screen switches to a picture of a man*
"So yah, I went to go fishing, as I do every weekend. I got my boat into the water, I sailed outward, I reeled in some fish, I slept, and then, the next day, my boat was beached! My GPS told me that there should have been water there, but their is no doubt about it, I was on dry land. Then, I simply sailed back and told everyone!"
*The screen returns to the news anchor*
"The Government of Taronix has released a statement that it well investigate the area, but only to calm down the press, and public, and to prove that there is nothing there, else wise, it would have shown up on a satellite."
12 AUG 2012 - 9:00 - TCBIN - New Continent Confirmed!
*On the screen is a female news anchor*
*10 days ago, we put on a story of how a local cod fisherman claims to have discovered an entire new continent. Today, the Taronixok government has released a statement that there is indeed, an entire continent located precisely where the fisherman claimed it would be. Why the continent does not show on satellite images is a question still. A map has been published by topographers of the Taronixok Military, and the gouvernment has decided to claim a chunk of land in the name of Taronix."
