The First Coleppticel

Finally - the truth of the coleppticels' discovery has been revealed! Or has it?!...

THE FIRST COLEPPTICEL

"One day, a little girl called Colly was walking down the street. It was the fourth minute of the fourth hour of the fourth day of the fourth week of the fourth month of the fourth year of the sixth millenium. So, basically, it was a pretty normal day. But remember - it was the future, so Colly walked down a cyber street. She turned around the corner of the virtual path, and saw something strange lying at her virtual feet. "What on earth is this?", she said in a robotic voice (she wasn't a robot, but everyone talks like that in the future. Like the way people, like, nowadays, like, totally, say "like" and "totally", like, way too much. You know, like? Totally.

So, anyhoo, Colly picked up the strange, ancient metallic object, and stared at it in total cyber confusion. A plastic wire hung from the side, and there were large slots at the top. "What an unusual object", she pondered, poking it. You and I would today call it a "toaster".
She jumped back in surprise when she heard a loud pop, and realised she had poked a button. But the thing that popped out the slots was no normal piece of toast. Colly gasped in ultimate, virtual horror. It had butter on it. That's totally against the rules! You can't put butter on bread before it is toasted! What a disaster!

Colly reached out her cyber arm, which was enclosed in a futuristic space outfit, and lifted out the perfect piece of toast. She recognised it from a picture in her computa-book in History class. "This is from ages ago!", she thought. "I wonder if the dinosaurs ate toast too..."
But something was strange - how could the toast still be in perfect condition after all these years? Colly inspected the toast - "Wait a minute!", she cried. A virtual person passing by stopped in their tracks and stared at their cyber watch. "No, not you!", she explained. "The toast." The passerby frowned, and walked off, muttering, "...people and their food...".
"I just realised something", Colly began. She stared at the toast. " I haven't had my dinner yet." And Colly walked off back home."

The End! Yay! What a lovely story. That explains everything.




Ok, ok, it explains nothing. I admit it.
But maybe this story is only the beginning. Maybe there is more to Colly and the toaster! The only way to find out is to stay tuned!
More coming soon!!
