Hello everybody,
How do you like the short story "They're Made Out of Meat" by Terry Bisson?
http://www.terrybisson.com/page6/page6.html
Apparently, this has been circulating online for a very long time already, but I only discovered it recently.
Although the story is very short and simple, I have to admit that it somehow fascinates me. Apparently many others felt the same way when they read this story for the first time.
Why do you think does this simple story appeal so much to the majority of its readers? Do you actually find it thought-provoking or do you rather think that people just enjoy the somewhat irreverent language?
