On the lighter side... Onion RSS feed added to LG15 Today

For those that are not familiar with it, "The Onion" has some really funny stories that suit my, particular, sense of humor. It's not for everyone, and has nothing at all to do with Lonelygirl15, so I put an RSS Feed from their weekly news stories way down at the bottom over on the right column.

For your amusement. Just because we can. Here is just a small example of what I love about some (not all) of the Onion stories:

The Sibley Guide To Birds Has Clearly Misidentified The Dark-Eyed Junco

The National Audubon Society is still gamely endorsing The Sibley Guide, which, to be honest, is no surprise. Those self-congratulatory amateurs are too busy direct-mailing birdie address stickers to anonymous citizens to conduct responsible birding. Those people would accept juncos as finches—hook, line, and sinker. What lightweights. They're almost as bad as the Wild Birds Unlimited people.

Eh, why fight it. A junco is now a finch. Why the hell not? While we're at it, let's call a flicker a type of jay. Harriers? Just lump them in with the hawks. The next edition of The Sibley Guide should refer to robin's-egg orange and say that owl pellets can be identified by their jelly center.

Bastards.
