There I was just calmly eating my alphabet soup, thinking random thoughts about life, the universe, and everything, when I look down at my spoon and spy this bizzare message spelled out in letters of noodle. I wonder if the gods are trying to tell us something…

looking at that picture, maybe they shoulda spelled out “don’t eat the soup”.
I think you should get a lottery ticket! 
And don’t forget a Power Ball ticket also. 
and again:
“I knew I’d made it, when Lavery started to pick on me…”
…didn’t Kurt Cobain say the same thing about Weird Al? 
Is photoshoping images the only thing you do nowadays in your office?
So, who wants to make a bet?
$10 says it’s a fake image 
I wonder if this will ever stop.
It’s time for some more coffee.
David, I’ll put my two to your one that it’s a faked image.
heh, more like it’s time for the season to start…to spare us from this creative boredom
David, I think you should stop making bets. How much money have you lost, now? 
Funny, how there’s no letters in the rest of the soup.
Its out of focus.

Either way I still say it’s fake.
The white ring surrounding the spoon kind of shows it was pasted in.
–Dori =D
Yea, I was thinking the same
But non-the-less, nice work
One more thing that gave it away for me, is the fact the letters are lined up to nice. You know, when you eat alphabet soup, the letters are never perfectly straight
Wow! this is such a coincidence! I was eating alphabet soup the other day too and it also had a message in it. It said “ooooooooooooooo.”
Then I realized I was eating cheerios.
had to have a family guy reference along with the Douglas Adams reference.
does this mean JVN = 42?
C’mon you people! Don’t you GET it? This came from Lavery… Its a GAME hint. Don’t let him TRICK you. The whole JVN connection is a PLOY to throw us off and make us think he’s simply picking on a prominent well-loved CELEBRITY. In ACTUALITY, he’s hinting that the 2005 game is going to have us picking up SPOONS, or, or, arranging soft tasty NOODLES, or, maybe, manipulating hot LIQUIDS…
I wonder if the pneumatic system handles broth…

OMG…perhaps the wittiest post EVER.
I just want to point out that:
PNEUMATICS + SOUP = HYDRAULICS

(hey - that’s almost as good as “Y = AX^2 + BX + C” !!!)
