ARE YOU WANING? WAXING? CRESCENT? FEELING GIBBOUS?
The Planet Scumm Institute for "Skeletaxonomy" is recruiting volunteers for a clinical trial of scummicillin, a probacterial designed to treat symptoms associated with body solidity, three-dimensionality, and organ, uh... having.
If you've experienced one of the following, you may be eligible to participate in our study:
- Complications from one or more fullbody skeletal replacements
- Out-of-body experiences brought about by illicit virtual reality "jacking"
- Identity theft by mind-copied synthetics
- Rust, suspension fatigue, or "Tin Man
syndrome"
- Feelings of inadequacy or weaponization while piloting an exo-suit
- Post-expiration quasi-materiality
- Shin splints
- Wombats
- Unexplained head detonation, with or without a pre-explosion fugue
Call the Planet Scumm Institute today for a consultation, at no cost to you.
