A student at my college used The Onion as a reputable source for an academic paper. While I understand that there is usually great truth in irony, and under other circumstances using the onion would have been a bold and brilliant move, I'm thinking the poor kid missed the boat all around.

These guys are great--now excuse me, my phone is vibrating.

Not that I am the model here, but PG-13 language, Mark. Warn us before throwing that up there. I spewed coffee.

Sorry about that. The language came with the code.

The "guest" on that spot is actually a fairly well-known internet celebrity. You may know him from such videos as "The Internet is Down" and Awesometution.
