BREAKING: Noodleburg Scientists Accidentally Invent Telepathy, Blame Lunch
Dateline: Noodleburg Institute of Mostly Accurate Science
In a stunning turn of events, researchers at the Noodleburg Institute announced they’ve achieved accidental telepathic communication during what was supposed to be a routine study on snack-based brain stimulation.
Lead scientist Dr. Gloop, who holds three PhDs and a possibly cursed microwave, explained:
“We were measuring EEG responses to a new line of sentient pudding when suddenly everyone in the lab started screaming the same thoughts at once. Mostly about socks and their childhood shame.”
Further analysis confirmed a momentary neural entanglement between all lab personnel and one janitor who had merely walked past with a tuna sandwich. “His thoughts were louder than the pudding’s,” said intern Fiblet. “We fear he may be the Alpha Node now.”
International response has been mixed. Sweden offered to host peace talks. The U.S. requested samples for military purposes. France simply lit a cigarette and sighed.
Meanwhile, ethical questions are mounting.
“Do thoughts have copyright?” asked one concerned citizen, who had accidentally overheard 42 recipes, 3 marriage proposals, and a stray limerick while standing near the lab’s dumpster.
Local legislation now mandates tin foil hats on Thursdays.
The scientists, true to form, have responded by doubling down. They are now feeding the pudding classical music and government secrets, just to “see what happens.”
