Friday Funny

I check out the Onion just about every week, and have to say it's been a bit slow lately. A couple of giggle-worthy headlines, but nothing gut-busting. Until today. Catch the week's headlines in the most recent Onion and tell me if this doesn't help MAKE your Friday, ease you smoothly into the weekend with a bit off mirth and merriment.

First, we have US Intelligence: Nukehavistan May Have Nuclear Weapons.
"High-resolution surveillance images obtained via satellite were marred by a green, glowing hue," Jacoby said. "While we cannot conclude that Nukehavistan has nuclear capabilities at this time, it is very possible that our satellites need better cameras."

Then a quickie: Chardonnay Vomited into NPR Tote

And finally, my favorite: Evangelical Scientists Refute gravity with New "Intelligent Falling" Theory. "Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University.

Now tell me that doesn't, if just a little bit, help restore your faith in humanity.
