I haven't tracked the similar article down in the Onion archives yet but
when I saw that Watley Review article it reminded me of one that came
out in the Onion about four years ago- where some group in the Midwest
wanted to repeal the laws of thermodynamics. This was before we knew
the Onion was satirical and we took it seriously getting quite upset for
a brief time!

".... Among the theories besides evolution that would be eliminated
from the
curriculum by the Kansas Board of Education's ruling are the theories
of
gravity, special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, acoustic
theory, plate
tectonics, algorithmic information theory, computation theory, graph
theory,
number theory, and probability theory. Critical theory and literary
theory
would also be banished, effectively removing virtually all books from
the
curriculum as well...."

I read it and had a great chuckle. I think we needed a touch of
levity
(parody) on this whole Smithsonian/ID discussion.
