My all-time-favorite Onion article was in one of their calendars, but it's not online anymore. The headline was (approximately) "Boy Bitten by Radioactive Spider Dies of Leukemia".

This was in Our Dumb Century too, which is an amazing book.

quote:

Boy Bitten by Radioactive Spider Dies of Leukemia Peter Parker, 17, Was Avid Student of Science, Photography

“This was no ordinary case of leukemia,” said attendant physician Dr. Henry Pym, an expert in the field of radioactive-insect-induced cancers. “This ripped through young Peter’s body almost overnight, affecting his reflexes, destroying his coordination, sapping his strength and scrambling his senses to the point where almost all the boy could detect was a constant tingling. It’s almost as if this hyper-irradiated cancer had the proportionate strength and speed of a spider.”
Parker’s death marks the sixth atomic-accident fatality in the last month, arriving on the heels of Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Susan and John Storm all succumbing to cosmic rays during the maiden flight of Richards’ experimental rocket, and U.S. Department of Defense scientist Bruce Banner’s irradiation by the Gamma Bomb, a weapon of his own devising.

That's different from the calendar one -- I distinctly remember that it was written about a kid named Peter Parker, but there was nothing else comic-book-related about it.

Yes, it skips 3011. I was hoping there would be an easter egg there, but no luck. :(

Edit: And yes, some numbers are more likely than others. No, I'm not going to figure out which ones. :effort:
