The Onion is a satirical "newspaper." Everything in it is a joke. Some of it is funny, some of it isn't, like most satire. If you want an actual funny article this time 'round, read this one:

It's genuinely funny, particularly if you hate Ray Liotta as much as I do.

I also enjoyed this line from this one:

Historians Admit to Inventing Ancient Greeks (http://www.theonion.com/articles/his...-greeks,18209/)

"We picked Greece because we figured nobody would ever go there to check it out," Nguyen-Whiteman said. "Have you ever seen the place? It's a dump. It's like an abandoned gravel pit infested with cats."

That made me laugh out loud.
