Dr. Stacey,
Thank you for your enlightening data on the correlation between
hypothermia and the thermal ramifications of rhinos.

My
colleague, Dr. Fontage, is also an expert in the field, and I have
spoken to him at great length. We believe that while serious, an even
larger problem looms on the horizon: Lung cancer in sea crabs.
To facilitate your understanding, I’ve included a brief summary of our work in the area. On the next page, I’ve attached a picture taken from MilSat 44I Alpha. You can see smoke billowing from a VIC1 crab lounge near the Okavango shelf in the Mid-Atlantic Basin.

As soon as I
received this data I immediately assembled my emergency response team,
seen below:

A recent 12 million dollar NSF grant allowed us to purchase a vintage
1928 Flash Gordon replica Spacecraft. Although only 14 inches in
length, the physiological boost to the team in indescribable, as shown
by this graph:

team couldn’t be present for Mrs. Harr’s Birthday. Note
Bongo usage peaked during this period. See “Got Bongos?”,

Once we reached the Okavango shelf in the Mid-Atlantic Basin, all our
fears were confirmed; The crabs were complete addicted, and consuming
an alarming 43 metric tons of tobacco an hour. To illustrate the
seriousness of the situation, I’ve attached exhibit A below,
which exemplifies behavior we saw throughout the dive.

[Exhibit A]
Our
oxygen began to run low around sixteen hundred hours, and started out
ascent to the HMS Shitbag on the surface. On route, we encountered a
dying mermaid who escaped the crabs shortly after before departure. The
second hand smoke severally affected her, and there was little we could
do for her.
