Without a doubt, this is the perfect string theory thread. Or maybe it isn’t....

I love onions, but I’ve never tried an oct onion. Are they sweet? From the Gospel according to Darksheare:
The Un’nions are here to destroy us. The Un’nions had planned an invasion of Ea’rth. But first they needed a staging point that would nourish their floral bodies. They chose an insignificant black dirt community in southern New York that suited their needs, then the invasion began...
At first, no-one noticed the bulbous invaders resting in the dirt. Awaiting the signal from Tan-en-baum, their leader, to awake and begin converting the native species to fertilizer. One by one, the farmers disappeared. But then, Ortho came up with a better nutrient for the native bulbs.... And the Un’nions became overfed and went comatose. And the Orthos were the only ones who knew about the invaders..... and smiled as they ate their hamburgers with onions....
