Join the Illuminati? Me?!

I might be impressed about getting an invitation to join the Illuminati—except this is at least the third time I’ve gotten such a message on Facebook. But when I got the friend request from a prestigious name such as William K Rothschild, looking like a dapper Liebowski, how could I resist?

Am I wrong in interpreting “Check yourself then” as “F••• you”?

I was prepared to go on longer and talk about being a doctor of philosophy, and how that process taught me critical thinking to avoid this kind of scammy BS, but he must have figured I was wasting his time.

I’d rather join the Rosicrucians anyway.
