Their superiors, alarmed, send them to the psychologist, Professor Faggioli \u2014 a shady character determined to get them fired by making them look insane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re in Professor Faggioli\u2019s office. It\u2019s Banani\u2019s turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: So, tell me about your spiritual life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani (surprised): Oh, I thought you didn\u2019t believe in that sort of thing, professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Oh no, not at all. Everyone needs spirituality. Whether it exists or not\u2026 \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: I see\u2026 Well! I wouldn\u2019t know what to say\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Come now, don\u2019t be shy! What do you think? Is there life after death?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: I\u2019m not sure\u2026 there\u2019s no evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Come on, Banani, you and I both know that\u2019s not what you really think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Well, even if there were, that wouldn\u2019t interfere with my work\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Sure, until someone starts going around saying the Big Bang is a lie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: I never said anything like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Really? And what about that note in the end-of-month report? The one from Papaia\u2026 which you signed\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Um\u2026 actually, I didn\u2019t even notice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Well, well, distracted at work\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli takes notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: No, come on, I wasn\u2019t distracted\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Weren\u2019t you? Then tell me\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli rummages through a drawer and pulls out a sheet with some photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: What were you doing here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He shows the paper to Banani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: But\u2026 how is that possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: The security cameras caught you on tape\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: I\u2026 I didn\u2019t know that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Oh yes, all employees are monitored. Where do you think you are? Security is everything here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: But how did you get those?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Let\u2019s just say\u2026 you\u2019re not the only ones who need my help to keep your job\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Freddy\u2026 the security guard\u2026 you mean he also\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: That\u2019s classified, dear Banani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, let me get this straight, Faggioli\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You say: \u201cSpirituality is something we all need. Whether it exists or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So basically, even if it doesn\u2019t exist\u2026 we still need it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry, but how does someone need something that doesn\u2019t exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like\u2026 oh! I desperately need the invisible unicorn that cooks lasagna in my closet. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Oh! I feel the urgent need for a Monday that\u2019s also Thursday\u2026 at the same time! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Picture an old couple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her: \u201cOh darling! I really need to go on a trip back in time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Him: \u201cOf course, dear! Let me grab the time machine! Oh wait\u2026 almost forgot\u2026 it doesn\u2019t exist!\u201d \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 And then there\u2019s Faggioli: Spirituality? I need it even if it doesn\u2019t exist! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 2\/6<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>In Faggioli\u2019s office, the interrogation\u2014er, I mean\u2026 the session\u2014with Banani continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: So tell me\u2026 what are those magazines?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Uh\u2026 nothing, just some DIY magazines. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: More like \u201cdo it yourself\u201d theology, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a theatrical gesture, Faggioli slams a few magazines on the desk, right in front of Banani\u2019s stunned face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: By any chance\u2026 are these the ones?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani is speechless as he stares at the magazines he\u2019d been reading\u2014on creationism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: These\u2026 um\u2026 they\u2019re not mine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Then whose are they? And what were they doing in your drawer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Okay, but even if I did read them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: That wouldn\u2019t be a problem\u2026 but you didn\u2019t just read them, did you, Banani?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: What are you suggesting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli clicks the mouse. An audio file begins to play\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FLASHBACK \u2013 NASAL corridor, coffee machine area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani and Panzerotti are leaning against the vending machine. The machine hums in the background as a hidden mic captures the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani (whispering, nervous):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026I\u2019m just saying, the data from Hubble last week\u2026 it\u2019s weird. The most distant galaxies\u2026 they look too formed. Doesn\u2019t match the Big Bang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panzerotti:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are you saying? That\u2019s serious stuff, Banani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani (glancing around):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know, but don\u2019t tell anyone. I found a couple of articles that\u2026 well, talk about a different origin of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panzerotti:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani (softly):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the universe being created by God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silence. The coffee finishes pouring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panzerotti:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re joking, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. I\u2019m just saying\u2026 what if the Bible\u2019s right? Even just a little? I mean\u2026 we can\u2019t keep ignoring certain inconsistencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panzerotti:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look, I go to church every Sunday, but that\u2019s where it ends. Management made it very clear\u2014faith stays at home when we come to work. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just about faith! There\u2019s evidence too. It\u2019s right in front of us. Every day. But we\u2019re interpreting it wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panzerotti:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry, I\u2019ve got to go. Maybe we\u2019ll talk about it next time. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>End of flashback. The audio stops with a click. We return to Faggioli\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Banani claims those magazines were about DIY? But isn\u2019t Banani the guy who fixes everything with duct tape? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Oh really? Then what were the titles? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Scotch Magazine \u2013 The Art of Never Using a Hammer \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Fix &amp; Tape \u2013 The Science of the Ultimate Patch-Up \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Home &amp; Scotch \u2013 Furniture That Sort of Holds Together \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Scotch Life \u2013 True Stories of Furniture That Hasn\u2019t Collapsed\u2026 Yet \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 And Panzerotti, Banani\u2019s spooked colleague, says that when he comes to work, he leaves his faith at home. Okay, but we\u2019ve got other cases too. For example: Papaia, when he comes to work, he leaves his pants at home. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Good thing at least he was wearing his lab coat! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 And what was that line from Panzerotti\u2014\u201cmaybe we\u2019ll talk about it next time\u201d? Was that supposed to be a joke? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 He should\u2019ve said \u201cmaybe we\u2019ll meet again\u201d\u2026 \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Someday\u2026 when we\u2019re old! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 3\/6<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Banani\u2026 do you have anything to say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani stays silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course you don\u2019t! You already said everything in that audio\u2014very clearly, I might add!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe that wasn\u2019t even me in the recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani\u2026 let\u2019s not play games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either you tell me the truth right now, or I won\u2019t be able to do anything to fire yo\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean\u2014to help you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright! It\u2019s true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read the magazines! I talked to Panzerotti! I even\u2026 wrote a draft article for Science &amp; Creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was just to see how it would turn out! I never meant to publish it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli (grinning smugly):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There it is. Finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to the list of employees\u2026 divinely inspired. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli slowly turns toward a drawer. He opens it with theatrical flair\u2026 and pulls out\u2014TONY THE SOCK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tony:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey Banani, what a surprise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget science\u2014it\u2019s church in disguise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve lost your mind, you\u2019ve gone astray,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>now Heaven\u2019s sending your job away!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani stares, horrified and confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani (barely whispering):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did\u2026 did he really bring Tony out again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli (smiling coldly):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tony sees into souls, Banani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And today, yours is highly questionable. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tony the Sock (sing-song):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoodbye Banani, dreams and stars,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>go hang with goblins and haunted memoirs!\u201d \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 4\/6<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This list of &#8220;inspired employees,&#8221; Faggioli?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me guess\u2014it only has four names on it, right? \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026And then Tony, in full poetic mode, invents the term \u201cquestionable soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean\u2014what\u2019s that even supposed to mean, literally? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Let\u2019s break it down: a theory can be questionable. But a soul? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026And what would the debate be? \u201cDoes Banani have a soul or not?\u201d \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026And according to Tony\u2019s logic, if Banani has a soul, then he believes in the Big Bang but not in God. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026But if he doesn\u2019t have a soul, then he does believe in God\u2014but not in the Big Bang! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026You know what, Tony?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing that\u2019s truly questionable here\u2026 is your own sentence! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Or better yet\u2014your entire existence! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026You\u2019re a sock. A used sock, Faggioli\u2019s puppet, worn for a week straight! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026And by the way\u2014props for the little poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But could we talk about that last line?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, sure, Banani goes off with \u201cfairies\u201d\u2014your fantasy world, got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But \u201crestless skeletons\u201d?? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026What are they, new enemies in a video game? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026What\u2019s their attack? Do they cry so much you can\u2019t stand it anymore? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Oh wait\u2014right! Skeletons don\u2019t have eyes, or tear glands! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Skeletons can\u2019t cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But maybe a restless skeleton is just anxious! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026You know, like those people who keep tapping your shoulder every ten seconds to say something. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Then again\u2014no! Skeletons don\u2019t do anything. They just sit there. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Unless someone ties them up with string and makes them into puppets. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Which, let\u2019s face it, sounds exactly like one of Faggioli\u2019s hobbies\u2014right next to gardening, talking socks, and dried chickpeas! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani ends the session<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in Faggioli\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, Banani. I\u2019d say\u2026 that\u2019s enough for today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth\u2014no matter how shocking\u2014is always appreciated.

And also a little bit in my hands. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026But\u2026 minor detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli makes a grand hand gesture, like a conductor wrapping up a symphony. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani takes the hint, stands slowly, and walks toward the door with an uncertain step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani (murmuring):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Professor\u2026 for your understanding\u2026 \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli (without looking up):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, yes.

The door shuts with a sharp clack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From behind the door, Faggioli can be heard playing once again with Tony the sock. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tony:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bye, sucker!

They\u2019ll even promote you! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Who knows? Maybe you\u2019ll be made President! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Surely the investors are thrilled about this sudden U-turn! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Banani asks if he can still work at NASAL? No, Banani! I really don\u2019t think so! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Your future in the hands of destiny? What, like flipping a coin\u2014heads, Banani stays; tails, Banani\u2019s fired? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Yeah, but only if the coin is rigged\u2014with two tails! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Your future \u201cpartly\u201d in Faggioli\u2019s hands?

I didn\u2019t know that besides the strings section, there was also a hoe section! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026\u201cThank you for your understanding\u201d? You too now with the Freudian slips, Banani?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding\u2026 uh, I meant suppression! Of our careers, obviously. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Guys, Faggioli is a riot! Playing with a sock behind his office door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a serious professional figure. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 I mean, the only serious thing here are his mental issues! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 5\/6<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in the waiting room, Papaia and Ravioli are talking about a book Banani found, about the geological evidence for Noah\u2019s Flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to recap: uniformitarian geologists claim that tens of thousands of feet of fossil-bearing sedimentary layers were deposited over more than 500 million years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, the catastrophic global Flood described in Genesis 7\u20138 leads creationist geologists to believe that most of these layers were deposited in just over a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, during the Flood, many different layers would have been laid down in rapid succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exactly. And on the walls of the Grand Canyon, we can observe that the entire sequence of horizontal sedimentary layers has been bent\u2014without fracturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For uniformitarians, that supposedly happened 440 million years after the deposition of the Tapeats Sandstone and Muav Limestone, and 200 million years after the Kaibab Limestone was deposited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s impossible\u2014because we don\u2019t see any evidence of that transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precisely! The only way to explain how these sandstone and limestone layers could have bent as if they were still flexible\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>is to conclude that they were deposited during the Flood described in Genesis\u2014just a few months before the bending occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So not millions of years\u2014but just one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One. The year of the Flood, a few thousand years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor is crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bent rocks. I can\u2019t take it anymore. Can we change the subject?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How long till my session? After a million years of this same stuff, I really need it! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey, just so you know\u2014Tony the sock is in there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better an hour of insults from that fake ventriloquist than ten more minutes of your bent rocks! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 6\/6<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re in the waiting room, where Papaia, Ravioli, and Igor are waiting for Banani to finish his session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The door opens. Banani comes out. The others turn toward him, stopping their conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So? Did he pull out the sock? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes\u2014and it gets worse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s been spying on us! This whole time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The security cameras\u2026 and Freddy the guard\u2014he sold us out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freddy? Oh no! I can\u2019t believe it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the other room, Faggioli calls the next patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia! Come in. It\u2019s your turn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia stands up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful! I don\u2019t trust that psychologist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani\u2019s right. Especially don\u2019t trust the sock. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor gives Papaia a little wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia enters the office and closes the door behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani notices the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah\u2014my book! Good thing I forgot it here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We read it too\u2014I hope you don\u2019t mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not unless you got tomato sauce or coffee on it! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bye, Papaia! And stay away from the sock! Who knows how long it\u2019s been since Faggioli washed his feet! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Sorry, Ravioli. I get not trusting Faggioli, but\u2026 the sock? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 What do you mean? You made confessions to that piece of laundry too? \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 Maybe next time you\u2019ll confess to Banani\u2014when he finds out you were eating your greasy tomato mini-pizzas and using the book pages as napkins! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 And Papaia didn\u2019t even notice the coffee he spilled from the vending machine\u2026 right on the page about pterodactyl fossils! \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part 1\/6 Three scientists \u2014 Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli \u2014 and their assistant Igor, who work at NASAL, begin to show interest in creationism.
