I love the Onion. Must get some of their t-shirts. It's funny how sometimes a headline makes you think "this must be on the Onion, right?" - and then you notice that it's the sad truth.

The most important Onion article ever, imho: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28151

Good one Fryke. And perhaps their second most important, and all too sadly true headline: Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'
