The Onion Scoops the Real News Again Church Group Offers Homosexual New Life In Closet First there was this famously prescient post that is far less funny now than it was at the time of publication. However, on a lighter note, MSNBC catches up with America's Finest News Source with this titillating article about a fundamentalist preacher who says God wants you to have hot sex, within certain limitations, of course. Also of course, the Onion beat them to it by nine years, with their classic piece about the minister of Holy Christ Almighty Lutheran church who just loves to fuck his wife. more inside

Curious Ramblin' George: help name my rocketship In five short weeks I'll be rolling down my driveway for a road trip of unknown duration and no specific destination (though I have a few general time/space coordinates plotted). This spring I picked up my new home on wheels, a 36-foot trailer made in 1951 by the Spartan Aircraft Co. A rig like this deserves a name, but I'm having trouble coming up with something that fits. A little Heinlien, a little Jules Verne, a little Homer (not necessarily Simpson). I'd sure love to hear your suggestions. more inside
