*The Bean Exposed As Replicant*
     The BN world was in shock today as BN pioneer The Bean was exposed as a sophisticated replicant.

    It is unknown how long the replicant has been impersonating Bean but experts say it could be as long as 'a fair while'.

    This shocking revelation only came to light by chance at today's BN jamboree in Tullamore. Well respected BN and O continuum blow in Francis Quinn was in the expectant crowd 'We were all just waiting there to hear from Double B when the heavens opened and the rain began. I was standing there, mad confused and shit, just looking around probably when I saw it. The Bean had taken shelter under a tree. Unbelievable. He actually saw a problem and devised some kind of defence against it. No way was that the real Bean.'

    Several of the crowd also witnessed this un-BN behaviour and became restless, soon developing into a rain drenched mob. Knowing that a BN member would never figure out a simple problem, they felt robbed of their chance to see the real Bean and attacked the impostor.

    'Yeah, we attacked him alright' recalls Francis 'He was fairly giving it all that, claiming he was actually Bean when some lad shouted that he must be one of those replicants, from the EU. There was only one way to find out so we ripped him to shreds. He had all these wires disguised as veins. An exoskeleton disguised as a regular skeleton. Even his lubricant was red like blood. It was as perfect a replicant as I've seen this week, I'll tell you that much for free.'

   
The rest of the jamboree went well, with over €18 raised for this year's chosen charity UNICEF.
