Limbo Adventures

A question scientists have been asking for almost a decade and a half is, whatever happened to the limbo? The once "popular" party dance has all but disappeared from society. We all want to know: what gives?


Unfortunately, scientists have been baffled as to where the limbo has gone, and millions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted in their futile efforts. A scandalous report also recently revealed that most research groups spend up to 70% of their time actually doing the limbo rather than studying it. People want answers.

Thankfully for them, I have some. In the late 1980s, just before the fall of the Soviet Union, limbo groups started springing up in Siberia and the Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan. Once Americans saw that the Russians were limbo-ing, they refused to do it for fear of becoming communist. After the fall of communism, Siberians and Kazakhs discovered the limbo was not cool anymore in the West, so they took up more timely fads like pogs and Magic cards.

Though people may not actually do the limbo anymore, it still lives on in our hearts. Not literally, though, because the limbo is not a living thing, and our hearts are too small for a limbo party to fit.
