    Historians Admit to Inventing Ancient Greeks

    Historians Admit to Inventing Ancient Greeks

    In my opinion this is complete joke, when I read this in the paper earlier today I thought it was ridiculous. But enjoy anyway.

    The Onion is a great source for satire and parody, but it's never a source for 'Breaking News' or any legitimate story.

    I Love the Onion, this seems to pretty much be a straight parody of Creationist style rambling.

    Funny enough, have you notice that CNN and FOX is far inferior to The Onion in many ways?

    Excellent writing is available at the Onion. It's good humor that makes you question what you think. It helps you laugh at people who actually share your political views.

    One of my favorite ones:
    "...The day of the game will soon be at hand.
    And no matter how hard you
    pray to a higher power or how many foam accoutrements you wear in support of
    the team from your area, your team will be defeated. We will win and you
    will lose."
    You Will Suffer Humiliation When The Sports Team From My Area Defeats The Sports Team From Your Area | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

    When I read it I was very amused. It really reveals how vacuous sports generally are.

    You are talking to the wrong man, I hate sports, mainly because of the lack of intelligence, a bunch of guys kicking on a ball and so on, it could also be because I am heterosexual and do not get turned on by a bunch of boys cuddling on the field.

    Interestingly enough, I noticed that the same people promoting sports that are highly homoerotic are also quite homophobic.... But we know about that already, perhaps one day they be honest to themselves eh?

    How do you figure the lack of intelligence?

    Well, I have to admit I think the idea of watching sports is absolutely retarded.

    That's highly presumptuous.
