Spinal Tap's Amps Actually Go Only To 10
posted by Rich @ 9:22 PM

In a recent shocking revelation from British Investigative Journalist Clive Smithson, it was found that Spinal Tap's amplifiers do not really go to eleven. Smithson, while on tour with the super-band doing a story, smuggled one of their amplifiers out to a local electronics shop and had it tested. The amplifier tested actually only went to ten, but had the faceplate altered and renumbered 1-11, instead of the standard 1-10. Smithson was quoted as saying, "I just can't believe this. I feel so violated. Next I'll find out that they never really existed or something unbelievable like that."

I think the real story here, the one the Main Stream Media is obviously trying to cover up, is where did this extra numeral come from? That's what I really want to know. I mean, it had to have come from somewhere right? So somewhere someone is missing a numeral! What if it was taken from the Department of Defense? Without our missing numeral the terrorists will win! We must get the word out on the misappropriation of vitally important numerals in wartime!

Good point, but you realize that the more numerals wasted, the more numerals that need to be manufactured as replacements. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It creates jobs, and jobs increase the nation's morale. Sure, it may be wasteful in one sense, but one man's waste is another man's paycheck. What I'd like to see is an extra numeral on everyone's house. Forget yellow ribbons and displays of Old Glory. If you really want to display national pride you'll change your home address by a factor of 10!

Damn straight! But as we all know, there are only 10 kinds of people in this world -- those who will patriotically bitwise left shift their house numbers, and those who won't and that means the numeric terrorists have already won.
