Reviews
An encyclopedic fun house of information and illustrations teeming with hundreds of entries covering everything from the letter A to Zibby the cartoon squirrel., Forget Wikipedia, burn all your books, and snap that Encarta CD Rom in half, because The Onion has just released its BOOK OF KNOWN KNOWLEDGE., "One of the best works that "The Onion" has ever produced...[it] dryly parodies an encyclopedia in the most comprehensive manner imaginable.", "Leave it to the geniuses at The Onion, who have revolutionized the science of sarcasmic infoengineering in the weekly print newspaper format, to do the same for the venerable encyclopedia. Miraculously, in only 250 or so pages, they have managed to cram more meaningful information about our universe into one book than Google or Bing or even Alta Vista have been able to do with several times that number of "web pages"."

- a***r (552)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseVERY FAST shipping, I had no sooner bought the item when I got the shipping notification and it was taken to USPS that same day. Package arrived quick and the packaging was above and beyond. Amp was double boxed and very secure, it even had a Fragile sticker on it. It was in the exact condition show in the photos and worked as perfectly as promised. My only regret is that I can't do all my future purchases through this seller. Thank you for a great experience!!!
