SKULL AND BONES TO CHANGE NAME TO FLESH AND DECAY?

April 5 2008

New Haven, CT – Yale’s super secret Skull and Bones organization may be undergoing a name change according to leaked secret documents. Amongst other rationale stated in the twelve page dossier, was a desire to alter the name so as build a new level of secrecy, and also to come up with something that “sounds scarier.”

Since 1832 the elitist secret organization has held sway over actions at the Ivy League school, and according to rumour, the US government. This claim is further bolstered by the outing of certain of its former members including former Presidents William Howard Taft , George H.W. Bush, current president Bush, and such political and business luminaries such as McGeorge Bundy, Dean Witter Jr., John Kerry, and former Secretary of War Henry Stimson.  

It’s exactly that outing that seems to be of major concern to the organization. After all, it’s difficult to be a secret organization when everyone knows where you are and who your members are.

“It may be a desire to bring new secrecy to the organization, but it is more likely a desire to protect its formidable assets, perhaps to diversify the business,” said an insider who preferred to remain anonymous and who may or may not be a member of the organization. “There’s also a good chance that the members themselves don’t even know the reason for the change.”

There are some though that speculate the reason might be simply cosmetic, an attempt to draw a younger crowd.

“I mean yeah, it’s sought after an all, but skull and bones seems kind of old. Like Pirates or something,” said another insider who also preferred to remain anonymous. “Zombies are what the kids like. The new name sounds more zombie-like which would appeal to a younger audience I would think anyway.”
