There’s nothing I love more than spending some quality time with my family, making a gingerbread house. The christmas season is upon us, and since gingerbread was Jesus’ main snack of choice, in the past we have celebrated his birth by creating a manger out of the tasty treat.

Nowadays the gingerbread house has become such a widespread phenomenon, that people are going all out to have the best house - or better yet, a mansion. In fact, just yesterday I made a full-powered hydroelectric dam out of gingerbread in under 2 and a half hours.

Here are some other examples of how this gingerbread craze has sweeped the nation:

- The new Harry Potter movie was actually filmed entirely within a west-hollywood gingerbread studio.

- Rumours have been circulating that the depletion of the ozone layer will be fixed using nothing but gingerbread and icing by the year 2008.

- A highly anticipated new Ferrari has been slated to be designed entirely out of gingerbread and swedish berries, which will run at just under 280,000 dollars. Consumers will have the choice of 2 exterior paint colors: brown and slightly darker burnt brown.

- An Apple newsletter has released information stating that the next generation of Ipods are going to somehow be compatible with gingerbread.

- The 2012 Summer Olympics are going to have three new sports: rollerskating, ballroom dancing, and the third one has not yet been announced. My guess, however, is that it has something to do with gingerbread.

- Hewlett-Packard even announced earlier last month that in 2006 all of their motherboards will contain 2 expansion slots for gingerbread and gingerbread-related configurations.

- Next year, the annual Academy Awards, which are nicknamed the Oscars, will be officially re-nicknamed the gingerbreads.

- America’s hip new television series, The O.C, is being cancelled due to it’s lack of topics relating to gingerbread.

- To much surprise, Stephen Hawking recently changed one of his most established theories, the Theory of Quantum Gravity. It now states that the theory of Quantum gravity is the field of theoretical physics attempting to unify the theory of quantum mechanics, which describes three of the fundamental forces of nature, with general relativity, the theory of the fourth fundamental force: gingerbread.

- The catholic church recently released a statement which concluded gingerbread to be an unholy dessert food, and that indulging in it would result in eternal damnation in hell.

- Gingerbread has officially been given a seat in the United Nations.

I think you get the idea.
