GENERIC CANDY AVATAR #2
I crucified my neighbor and Neptune swept the city clean for me and killed the lion. My direct descendant was Francis Ford Coppola. Which is weird because I'm :gay:

Hilariously, you should try the "Wait, I'm gay?" Option to it's fullest.

Sleepover at Brynna's

It isn't Onion content, but this reminded me of a really good CYOA game with a similar "sleepover" premise: The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo.
The less you know about it going in, the better. I'll just say the payoff makes the game that led up to it a hundred times cooler. The author put a lot more thought into things than is apparent at first.

The Onion made a mistake and published real news again.

Report: Majority Of Earth’s Potable Water Trapped In Coca-Cola Products

quote:

“Less than 3 percent of the earth’s water is fresh, and of that, more than two-thirds exists in the form of Coke products incapable of serving any human need,” said the report’s lead author, Samer Ghosh, adding that the amount of freshwater that’s not trapped in the brand’s line of colas has been steadily declining for years. “There are vast, untapped quantities of potable water within these sodas, and they can be found in heavy concentrations throughout the world’s grocery stores, vending machines, and home refrigerators. Unfortunately, though, we have no way of extracting it.”

“Our own country has enough water in its Vanilla Coke Zero to fill Lake Michigan, but in its current state that water is useless to us,” he added.

Then it gets to the part about developing nations and, yeah. :smith:

And since my lovely student translation from 5 years ago is still on my computer:

The wild sow, heavier with the pledge of a mature stomach, now sent the child, having been made a parent from a wound; the litter did not lie, but ran from the fallen mother. O how great is the creation from a sudden fall!
