Doctor Aquarius had discovered one of the three Lost Paperclips of BOB, hidden in a tomb for nearly four thousand years.\u00a0 They had been used to fasten the tablets upon which were inscribed the Seventeen and a Half Commandments &#8211; the foundation for the Bobological world.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists swarmed over the site that Doctor Aquarius had found.\u00a0 They worked night and day excavating the tomb and discovered a number of scrolls.\u00a0 Translated, the scrolls told a tale similar to the Christian Bible.\u00a0 We learned of a God whose name was BOB.\u00a0 A God that was both studly and cool.\u00a0 Related documents told us of the rise of Bobism &#8211; put down by Christian monks wielding poultry (at least, that&#8217;s what it looked like in the pictographs).\u00a0 We learned of the Hebo tribe and Bob Jr. &#8211; the son of BOB &#8211; as well as the Three Holy Paperclips, the purple-reflective sunglasses, the green boots of Bobette, and hundreds of other fun facts.\u00a0 The scientists also found a bag of amusing party favours that were all quickly broken.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Doctor Aquarius was killed in a flashfire while crawling down his chimney.\u00a0 But, in his memory, all copies of the Boble have been dedicated to him: WE DEDICATE THIS TO DR HEDGEHOG AQUARIUS&#8230;AND&#8230;YEAH<\/p>\n<p>Jewish automobiles have, sadly, destroyed the \u2018Kilroy-wuz-here\u2019 drawings on the tomb where these precious documents were discovered.\u00a0 We ask you to boycott anything Jewish with four wheels.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Before we begin, it is necessary to mention those who have assisted in the creation of this Boble.\u00a0 The names that follow are in no particular order of importance:<\/p>\n<p>Werdna (Editor;
