Onion Skin

I love the way The Onion (begun in my hometown: Go Badgers!) satirizes the academic world. Due to long standing Onion Tradition, the original writers and editors have gone to great lengths to protect their true identities. But the "truthiness" (to paraphrase St. Colbert) of these stories tells me that many of the writers are well acquainted with the scholarly world. Especially since it was begun in my hometown, a university town (Go Badgers!). These articles in particular never fail to crack me up:

Heroic Computer Dies to Save World from Masters Thesis
