Nadir Of Western Civilization To Be Reached This Friday At 3:32 P.M.

WASHINGTON—An international panel of leading anthropologists, cultural critics, biologists, and social theorists announced this week that Western civilization will reach its lowest conceivable point at 3:32 p.m. Friday.

"From the prehistoric Lascaux cave paintings to the stirring symphonies of Mozart to today's hot-dog eating competitions and action films with comical gerbils, culture has descended into a festering pool of mass ignorance," said Yale sociologist Paul Riordan, who has spent his career analyzing western civilization's fall into the depths of depravity. "If our calculations are correct, this complete erosion of all that is enlightened and unique will reach absolute rock bottom on the afternoon of Sept. 25, 2009."

Added Riordan, "It is scientifically impossible for civilization to sink any lower than it will this Friday."....

Well, I was asleep when this was supposed to take place, so I guess I totally missed it (whatever was supposed to happen).

Of course I'm kidding about the 'hot' part, but I hadn't heard of her before. 

I was wondering the other day when I read the Onion article.  After reading her Wikipedia page, I understand why they used her.
