{}; could be. Is an empty codeblock a statement, or is it a block that contains no statements? I figured the latter one
As for the joke, it throws a human emotion into the discussion; the one of arrogance (sapiens sapiens).

Well done (I reckon you're right). My trouble is that my brain doesn't fully wake up til later in the day! (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

Blimey Griff! That was a bit rapid.

It was, wasn't it? I reckon we should force him to solve all yesterday's "bonus" questions now! (Re-posted in post below.)

It just leapt out at me...

Maybe it's my fault (again) for not letting yesterday's winner know (I did, but I guess not in time) that they're responsible for today's...
...they (PeejayAdams) may yet post one, in which case it will take precedence, but in the meantime, nobody solved even one of my "bonus" clues yesterday, so I offer them here again to keep you all amused while we wait.
If PeejayAdams doesn't post a clue, it's the privilege of OriginalGriff to decide the process. Maybe solving one of 2-3 below,(the first really is too easy, and shouldn't count for anything), or he may want to post a clue of his own...
1. A bid to oust the President? (3, 2, 5)
2. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's a troll! (7)
3. Build a fake type (9)
4. Music an extreme revelation (8)

They don't get posted exactly on time - sometimes work commitments interfere, and some winners line in widely spaced time zones.
Normally, if it isn't posted in a few hours I remind them gently using the atsign name feature: @Membername - where the member name is available on the member homepage. Like this: @A_Griffin
It sends a notification direct to the member.

I got #1 and #3 on sight last night, but didn't want to tread on any toes so I kept quiet.
I'll post #3 if you want.

You're not treading on anyone's toes - they're there to be solved, so if you have the answers, post 'em!
I'll be glad you've got #1 especially - I was a bit concerned that no-one here could solve it!!

Right on both counts

You going to give us the other answers now?
|

#1 and #3 are done (see Peter_in_2780 above)
#2. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's a troll! (7)
Ans: Harrier
As in: harrier hen (bird); Harrier jet (plane); a harrier = someone who harries - from the verb "to harry" = to persistently annoy (a troll)
#4. Music an extreme revelation (8)
Ans: Discovery
disco (music) + very (extreme) = a revelation

Given Twatter's bias, I presume that the employee was given a bonus and re-hired.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Twatter - good call on the name. And perhaps it's most famous user.
If Twatter were biased the account would have been closed long ago.
Wait - I'll recast that: the bias is that they'll make more money keeping those posts coming by have more eyes to charge for when setting advertising rates.
Overheard: "Listen, Boris. If they close his account, why don't we give him a few hundred of our accounts!"
