"And now, financial news:
The Dow is up 38 points this morning after a news report claiming that Tesla would be quadrupling the size of all their cars. This sudden increase in the physical mass of the nation’s most popular electric automobiles will be done via an overnight system-wide update through each vehicle’s onboard wifi connection. Investors thrilled at the idea that their cars would suddenly, and with zero regard for physics, get really, really big.
'Imagine big cars,' the entire floor of the New York Stock Exchange said in unison. 'Imagine. Big Cars. Bigcars. Big ol’ cars!' Some of them began laughing and hugging each other. Some began crying and thanking long-dead gods they had never even heard of.
The Stock Exchange then filled with doves, all beating their wings at once. And the undulating noise and the suddenly strong breeze overwhelmed the investors. And they screamed 'Yes! Take us! Take us with you!' And the doves did. They took the investors away, picking each one up by the scruffs of their necks and flew them high and away to Long Island, to Nantucket, to Nova Scotia, to Iceland, to the Faroe Islands, to Svalbard and finally dropped the remaining investors into the icy waters of the Laptev Sea, where they grew gills and thick, insulating blubber, and they learned to sing in long, low tones. They mated with each other, and a new species was born unto the earth, unto our celestial home, unto our delicate ecosystem.
The investors live, now, in a rare Arctic reef, and they are so excited about the future of Tesla’s stock.
Also the Nasdaq is up half a point. This has been Financial news."
- Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, from Welcome to Night Vale, ep. 213
