I knew “The Onion”:http://www.theonion.com had gone through a site redesign recently, but I don’t really have time to read it and so never checked it out. Today I thought I would take a look. Man, that site is good shizzle! Besides the usual great headlines like “Voice Of God Revealed To Be Cheney On Intercom”:http://www.theonion.com/content/node/43189 they have updated their archives to include every article since the beginning of mankind. _YES!_ Once I realized this I started searching for my favourite Onion article ever, a Point-Counterpoint article where they reference “my beloved Economist”:http://cominganarchy.com/2005/06/08/i-?-the-economist/. This is the greatest debate ever:
“*According To The Economist, NASA Is An Industrial Subsidy In Disguise*”:http://www.theonion.com/content/node/34138
That beats out my second fave Onion article, “God Finally Gives Shout-Out Back To All His Niggaz”:http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28251.

About Younghusband
Sir Francis Edward Younghusband (1863-1942) was a British explorer, army officer, military-political officer, and foreign correspondent born in India who led expeditions into Manchuria, Kashgar, and
Tibet. He three times tried and failed to scale Mt. Everest and journeyed from China to India, crossing the Gobi desert and the Mustagh Pass (alt. c.19,000 ft/5,791 m) of the Karakoram mountain range in modern day Pakistan. Convinced of Russian designs on British interests in India, Younghusband proactively engaged in the nineteenth century spying and conflict over Central Asia between the British and the Russians known as the Great Game.
"Younghusband" is a Canadian who has spent a number of years bouncing back and forth between his home country and Japan. Fluent in Japanese and English with experience in numerous other languages from Spanish to Georgian, Younghusband has travelled throughout Asia. He graduated with an MA from the War Studies Department at the
Royal Military College of Canada, where he focussed on the Japanese oil industry and energy security issues. He has recently returned to Canada from Japan, and is working in the technology sector.
God Answers Crippled Boy’s Prayer. “‘No,” Says God.
A classic.
My favorite was God diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It really helped bring perspective to the Almighty punishing the homosexuals in San Francisco, the gamblers in Las Vegas, and the jazz enthusiasts in New Orleans by destroying Manhattan.
“Cloned Cat Neutered”
Kushibo: that is HILARIOUS.
My favorites:
Point: “Homeless people want a hand up, not a hand out.”
Counterpoint: “I want a handout!”
Point: “European men are so sophisticated!”
Counterpoint: “American women are so easy!”
That’s a tough one.
Top three:
3) “Archaeological Dig Uncovers Ancient Race Of Skeleton People”
(The artist’s rendering is classic)
2) “Dolphins Evolve Opposable Thumbs; ‘Oh, Shit,’ Says Humanity”
_I believe I speak for the entire human race when I say, ‘Holy fuck,’” said Oceanographic Institute director Dr. James Aoki, noting that the dolphin has a cranial capacity 40 percent greater than that of humans. “That’s it for us monkeys._
1) “Marxists’ Apartment A Microcosm Of Why Marxism Doesn’t Work”
This is the best Onion story EVER!
priceless:-)
how did I leave that out of my first comment? ;-)
find of the day: “God Angrily Clarifies ‘Don’t Kill’ Rule”

“I guess I figured I’d left no real room for confusion after putting it in a four-word sentence with one-syllable words, on the tablets I gave to Moses. How much more clear can I get?”
Maybe the joke makes more sense in Hebrew, since it’s actually don’t _murder_.
i’ll have to go with vidalia
;)
Why Can’t I Sell Any Of These Fucking Bibles?
1. “HOLY FU*KING SHIT! MAN WALKS ON FU*KING MOON!”
2. “Communist Student has Capitalist Parents.”
