What large group of people is she talking about? What if she said some something like this:

My grass grows every week, even though I don't water it and sometimes it doesn't rain for weeks. It would take the whole neighborhood to keep it a secret as to who is watering my grass without my knowledge. I find it comforting, It's how I know there is a god in heaven who looks out for my lawn and keeps it growing, so I'll have something to do each weekend by getting outside and cutting it, thus allowing god to continue his miracle.

Sorry, but it's one of my pet peeves, ranking right next to someone posting a thread title like 'Holy shit!! Can you believe this!?!?!?', with nothing but a link inside... not context, no commentary...zilch, nada, nothing.

Peace,

Ghost

A guy bought one of the first hybrid automobiles and his bragging at work about his gas mileage was getting tiresome, so his co-workers started sneaking out into the parking lot at lunch time and pouring gasoline into his tank. So our guy was reporting 55 mpg, 65 mpg, 80 mpg, 120 mpg! Being unable to recognize that he was being had, he claimed with a straight face that his magical car was actually manufacturing gasoline in its tank while he slept! "I know it's unbelievable," he said, "but there's more gas in the tank now than I put in there last week!"
