In a study released on Thursday, February 5, 2014, by the University of Texas Department of Astronomy, it was found that the majority of "God's blessings" end up burning up when passing through the Earth’s atmosphere. In this context, "God's blessings" are referring to all floating or burning particles found in space, like comets and so on. “We discovered that due to the thickness and density of the gases surrounding our planet, 80 percent of God’s graces will completely disintegrate by the time they are about 75 to 100 kilometers away from the surface,” said professor Donald Northcote (The Onion, 1). The most generous gifts sent by God even disintegrate and get reduced so quickly into "fragments of His original intention during the journey". One exclusion to this statement was the powerful blessing from God that struck Earth during the Cretaceous Period, or the Dinosaur era, which also is believed to have wiped out about 75 percent of the world’s species.
In this article, the reader can find the use of satire throughout the whole writing. By using the words "God's blessings" or "the generous gifts sent by God", the writer uses parody satire to amuse the reader, interest them about reading more, and help them understand the particular subject.
