"Punk scientists have been researching the possibility of an additional chord since the late 70s, but only in a haphazard DIY manner.

Researcher Mary Fisher at the Fuck Your Mum Punk Laboratory said: “One of our team was frantically strumming while buzzing on amphetamines and he just kind of came across it.

“If we had known about this chord forty years ago maybe we could have smashed the system.

“Still, it’s better to take a while than to be too technical because then you end up with prog rock.”

2. My favorite FB punk fan will love this

the odd thing is, he's a conservative repuke. I guess being a successful attorney and living in a posh NYC suburb pushes the punk idealism right out of you. Of course, even back in the day, he was a Randroid.

For some reason, they never stayed around too long, though.
