Does anyone remember T. Herman Zweibel? That is the name given to the ficticious publisher of the onion and his column on that website was one of my favorites. Too bad they've long since done away with it.

in my youth I visited most of the nations of the world and quickly concluded that they are all pretty much the same, save for the color of their inhabitants' skin and the amount of hostility these inhabitants harbored toward me.

The following is all you need to know about the world: Africa is filled with Hottentots, and the services of an entire village are required just to raise one child, which is highly inefficient. The yellow hordes of the Far East may initially seem obsequious, but they would sooner bake you in a pie than submit to your authority. What the French lack in reason they make up for in sheer gall. I could go on, but I think you get the picture. The only thing breaking up the monotony is the odd volcano, and those don't erupt nearly as often as they should.http://www.theonion.com/content/node/25790

I remember you compared me to him once, using that very paragraph (and you're still on my list for that insult, "Item #145: Drunken Commies, Compared me to deceased fictional character that was in excess of 100 years old").

If you put the i before the e in his last name you get the German word for onion.

Insult!?!? I'll have you know that was one of my highest compliments.

The man must be very very disturbed.
