THE UNITED KINGDOM — Millions of residents of the United Kingdom dropped dead after seeing a giant shiny ball in the sky for the very first time.

"Blimey, what is that giant ball of flaming gas?" asked local man Jeremy Puddlesworth moments before dropping dead. "It's so bright and it warms up the whole of Little Southsburry. What is that thing - ARRRRRRGH I'm dead!"

The bright orange ball in the sky appeared late Sunday morning and stayed in the sky for a few hours, causing the deaths of millions of residents of Great Britain who were confused by its presence and caught off guard by its unbearable warmth.

Well, whatever is that giant thing?" commented Edith Marlyswig of Sutton Upon Marlborough. "I've never seen that thing in me life! Why is it so bright out here? My lily white skin has no defense against these otherworldly cosmic heat rays coming through. What to do!?"

At publishing time, the bright ball of light disappeared behind a cloud, much to the relief of the few UK residents who survived, despite being severely burnt.


These British police officers are keeping the streets safe from dangerous weapons.
