Warning ! Warning! Warning! Creatures from outer space , perhaps from Planet Nigela which has 15 moons made from tasty Moccha coffee, chicory and pasteurised yak milk , have secretly invaded and seized the NT News building. An alert Little Darwin reader ,Orson Welles , detected the takeover by aliens when he drove up to the newspaper office to lodge an expensive full page advert for his missing, house-trained , pet aardvark , Cyril.
His hair stood on end with fright when he spotted a pulsating giant white inflatable biological warfare exclusion facility attached to the building. Clearly, this was something out of the X-Files , so he screeched to a halt, slipped into reverse and fled the scene . What rot, we told our informant , but he insisted there was something spooky going on at the News .
Scoffing, we rang the paper and , acting stupid, easy for us, asked them if a white balloon had been inflated next to the building as part of an advertising gimmick . The person who took our call was not even aware that there was an evil , throbbing , white amoeba attached to the building. The newsroom would probably know, she said, and kindly switched us through to a robotic sounding person called Matt . Still playing dumb, we asked if a balloon had been blown up on the premises. No, said he, it was a tent for some work going on in the building related to pipes.
A pipe going into a newspaper office ? Sounds as if the aliens are creating a new atmosphere in which they can multiply like cane toads and guide in the invasion fleet . Make the most of this Christmas as next year we could all be enslaved by Martians and the banks.
