If you can believe ten impossible things before breakfast, then you should join

		    THE CHURCH OF COUNTERFACTUAL BELIEF

An amalgamation of the Creation Science Research Foundation and the Flat Earth
Society, The Church of Counterfactual Belief has been set up to cater to all
who do not allow demonstrable truth to get in the way of their beliefs.
In addition to creation science and the flatness of the earth, the following
beliefs have been certified by Pope Duane as correct Church dogma:

 -- There is a hole in the Earth at the North Pole from which UFOs come.
 -- PI equals precisely 3.000.
 -- Sex can be enjoyed only by blacks and homosexuals.
 -- Billy Joe Wilson (of Hoopla, Miss.) has successfully squared the circle.
 -- Harry Truman is still president, and doing a fine job.
 -- PI equals precisely 22/7.

Several other important counterfactual beliefs are presently being studied,
including Reagan/Thatcher economics; that the moon landings were done in a
Hollywood special effects studio; and all current theories in Artificial
Intelligence.  These will be the subject of a forthcoming Papal Bull.
