Area man finds onion planted in earth

Posted by Kat Malinowska, Onion enthusiast

The Onion, one of our favorite news-spoofers, has made available a fantastic layer for Google Earth in tandem with Our Dumb World: Atlas of The Planet Earth, a hilarious new book parodying (you guessed it!) a world atlas. Placemarks across the globe pinpoint lots and lots of geographic features and a whole bunch of important historic sites (read: jokes and more jokes).

The Onion has also put together an awesome Google Maps mashup with even more factoids about your favorite lands. Check it out often to see the latest featured country of the week.
