Why Are Ba Herms Saying That A Fig Duff Was Sighted In Great Hermlake City?

Controversial to common belief, some studies have shown that more and more Ba Herms have begun to believe in Fig Duffs. One study said that 1% of Herms admit that Fig Duffs exist to their Duff Herms and an amazing 16% claim to have seen Fig Duffs while 46% believe in them but have never seen one. HermPost has not conclusively verified that this data is 100% accurate and you can never be sure what to believe … especially when our rivals the Hermbul Post are involved. While the fact that some Ba Herms do believe in Fig Duffs could explain why they are spreading rumors of sightings, the HermPost believes that these rumors have different origins. 

HermPost expert investigators were sent out to find the roots of the rumors. Usually with rumors like these, finding the true story is fairly trivial, but it was not the same for this case. The rumor seemed to be coming from Yostacorn, the Inner City of Great Hermlake City, and the town of Herminging. Ultimately, the investigators found that the stories in the Inner City were most believable and closely matched the reports of trustworthy sources.

With this information, they assembled a series of events that they believed was the cause of the rumors. (If you haven’t read the Breaking News yet, we suggest you read that before reading this.) 

According to them, it is based on a story where a Fig Duff fell from the ceiling of the Great Hermlake Legislature and killed the rebellious general who attacked the seat of the local government of the Great Hermlake Region. There is no evidence to support this except for the reports of several soldiers who claim to have seen it happen. HermPost, however, thought that these rumors were a little far fetched and unusual since the Conspiracy Theorists who usually spread rumors of Fig Duffs were silent on the matter, and the Lieutenant General Cornberticus denied these claims. Though we cannot tell you what actually happened, we advise caution when such sketchy rumors are involved. If we make further findings, you can expect to hear from us in this week’s Weekly Report.

  Homeless Duff Herm Guild Protests Against Large Scale Advertisement The HDHG, the largest free Duff Herm organization in the country, have begun nationwide protests, some revolving into uncontrollable mobs, that have gathered in the country’s largest cities to protest big advertisements and billboards. The Department of Emergency Management says that, “Two hundred billboards worth a grand total of 1,900 Herm Dollars were destroyed by protesters.” While the Department (which is largely run by members of the HDHG) discusses their next move, the Homeless Duff Herm Guild has started a massive mobilization of militias across the country. The leaders of the guild have been silent about their intentions, but the members of the militias believe that they are needed to protect Hermistan from some unknown external threat. Currently, around a thousand Duff Herms march to the border of the Umbucci Clan of Stanistan, leading them is legendary General Jim Kurt.  One HermPost reporter ...

  Herm In Walizburg Invents Flapjack Dispenser In Walizburg, the region that has already made such notable inventions as the double salt shaker which could dispense two different kinds of salt by just pressing one button, a young Herm craftsman and his Eri Herm apprentices invented a creation that may go down in history as a Duff Herm’s flappyjakiest toy: the Flapjack dispenser! This new innovation has already won awards from many different Herm science institutes for its clever use of mechanics and levers. Currently, two hundred copies have been made, and a hundred and eighty-two have been sold for 4 Herm Dollars and 15 cents to a throng of lucky Herms who happened to walk past the store by chance when they were going out to do their daily chores in the city and couldn’t resist buying their Duff Herms this wonderful late Christmas present.  After all the publicity from the various local newspapers, the new invention attracted many rich Herms who were eager to buy the orig...

Daily Update 9/4

  HDHG Suspected of Illicit Activity When one Herm, a resident of Pozny, received a letter that he had acquired a vacant plot near the center of town, he did not know whether to be frightened or happy. He ignored the letter, dismissing it as spam, but more and more just kept coming. Stubbornly, he continued to ignore the letters, until, around a week after the letters had started coming, he received a letter from the Mayor’s Office saying that the lot was poorly kept and evidence suggested it belonged to a hoarder, and, that unless he took care of his property, the City Council was going to fine him for neglect of property. Confused, the Herm went to the clerk of the Mayor’s Office and asked if they had, in fact, sent that letter. To his surprise, according to the City’s records, he had owned the property for eleven years now. Understandably, a lot left untended for eleven years would definitely show signs of neglect. Upon finding himself in the center of the City by chance the ...
