This morning, I finished listening to my archive of Onion Radio News podcasts. I had about 100 of them backed up on my iPod from the last few months, and it felt good to finally be caught up on them. The Onion has such an incredible satire and wit about it, I must share some of the headlines by which I was just entertained.
"Army Of Dead has no Problem Meeting Recruitment Goals"
"Civil War Enthusiasts Burn Atlanta To Ground"
"GEICO Saves Fifteen Percent Or More By Discontinuing Advertising"
"Area Mom Freaking Out For No Reason"
"John Glenn Installed In Smithsonian"
"Google Steps In To Help U.S. With Google Navy"
The Onion usually contends with the Weekly World News for being my favorite publication to read idly. The entertainment value in each is beyond reproach with the Onion claiming to be "America's Finest News Source" and Weekly World News claiming to be "The World's Only Reliable Newspaper." Together, they represent my two favorite forms of humor: satire and the absurd.
Prey is very good. The introduction and first chapter alone kept me up a half hour longer than I thought I would be. I have a feeling I won't be able to put it down later today.
