From The Onion, Hard To Tell If Wikipedia Entry On Dada Has Been Vandalized Or Not. Sadly the actual article is boringly factual (or it was; I’ve had a go at improving it but I doubt it will last. I like the way my version ends with an impassioned yes yes).

My first go didn’t last long, but then the punctuation was distracting. I think its better with the punctuation removed entirely before the sort. But should the sort be case sensitive?

    Made me laugh out REALLY loud out in a public place (people turning heads)!

    Once is ok, but that’s getting dangerously close to vandalism.

    Step away from the keyboard…

    The Onion article has been noted in the discussion:

    [Yes indeed. Its a shame that it hasn't been, so far! -W]

    Picked the Onion up at the airport and laughed through a bend fold spindle and mutilate flight segment. Still, I would not want to mess with the brave Wikipedia OTRS organization operators. . .

    Odd, nobody has added you to the list of identified Dadaists, yet. Perhaps disemvoweling would help?
