2008 - Bilan définitif de la mort - aka « le choix du bon goût »
En ce début d'année 2009, il est temps pour nous d'élaborer un bilan... Contrairement à ceux que vous avez peut-être eu l'occasion/le malheur de découvrir ailleurs, celui-ci est absolument garanti, le label « approuvé par le gang des canards » ajoutant encore à son évidente qualité. Pour les scientifiques, qui posent toujours des questions incongrues, voici la composition du susnommé bilan : 98% d'objectivité totale, 2% de sel.
