You might start with all politicians are lizard people. [Bzzzzt] OK. All politicians are Jews. [Bzzzt] Hm. All politicians are liars. [Ding] Pluto is a planet. [Bzzzt] Pluto is an asteroid. [Bzzzt] Pluto is a Roman god. [Ding] Roman gods are planets. [Bzzzt] Roman gods are asteroids. [Bzzzt] Sigh. We need to parallelize this thing.
