From the Onion ... Congress Abandons WikiConstitution

I was waiting for a friend in a restaurant and reading the print edition of The Onion last night. This made me laugh out loud, so I thought it might make one or two of you laugh as well...
Congress Abandons WikiConstitution September 28, 2005 | Issue 41•39WASHINGTON, DC—Congress scrapped the open-source, open-edit, online version of the Constitution Monday, only two months after it went live. "The idea seemed to dovetail perfectly with our tradition of democratic participation," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said. "But when so-called 'contributors' began loading it down with profanity, pornography, ASCII art, and mandatory-assault-rifle-ownership amendments, we thought it might be best to cancel the project." Congress intends to restore the Constitution to its pre-Wiki format as soon as an unadulterated copy of the document can be found.
