THE ONION NORTH?
OK, first the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported about the guy who went 205 on his motorcycle. Now they are reporting about the discovery of Homo floresiensis on an island in Indonesia. This species is supposed to have been a "dwarf human species" that existed until about 12,000-18,000 years ago, when they were wiped out by a volcano. The article also has a paragraph that reads, "this hobbit-sized creature appears to have lived as recently as 18,000 years ago on the island of Flores, a kind of tropical Lost World populated by giant lizards and miniature elephants."
Wait a minute. I think this is an Onion article. Giant lizards and miniature elephants? Is this like the Onion headline that the city "Plans to Build Railroad Up Your Ass"?
