Upon the date 03:00 PM 5/8/01 -0700, Frank McConnell said something like: I read that article through completely and kept expecting to see "Nya-nya! Fooled ya!!" or "April Fool!" or some such. No, I didn't see such a message. The author's style of writing it was straight-faced. Sheesh, could this crap be real?? Then I went to the main page of what's called The Onion and, to my relief, had a good laugh at what I saw. Hadn't checked out The Onion before now. Looks like a cross between National Lampoon and the National Enquirer. News articles in this issue: "North Dakota Drinks Itself To Sleep Again", "Work Avoided Through Extensive List-Making", "New Dog Sick Of Being Compared To Old One", etc. What a hoot.
