    it is though. they did this "History special" some years ago, with different newsparper front for each year. some calssics were
    "1959: Cambodia switches to 'skull'-based' currency", or [about the Titanic]

    "Crash! worlds largest metaphor hits ice!".

    The Onion is just spectacular.

    Our Dumb Century has to be one of my favourite books of all time.

    "Hitler tames the Polish Menace"

    Remember the story they did in Jan 2001?

    Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'

    How do they do it?

    I think 'Lewinksy subpoenaed to re-blow Clinton on Senate floor' is one of my favourites. Or any of T. Hermann Zweibel's legendary editorials :)
