Usually The Onion is humorous, but today they are carrying a straight news article:

It reminds me of the scene in The Name of the Rose when you find out why all these religious thinkers came together for a convention. To decide the great question - Did Jesus own his own clothes?
I’m not clear here, QM–I mean, it’s probably nothing, maybe it’s me, but I feel like you’re implying something.
That’s straight news??
" THE" nations TOP overthinkers??
According to whom??
You’re kidding I hope , right?
If it were published on April 1 I’d be ROLOTF.
I sure HOPE this is in jest…
garland, I have frequently been accused of overthinking, in CC posts. So when I saw The Onion article, I had to go for it! I was hoping someone would think that my post was serious . . . .
and lol, great reply in #2. Perhaps not as inspired as your meta-thread, but as you can see, it took me two lines before I got it!
LOL, QM. I would hope the Onion byline would be obvious to CC posters. But maybe not. Let me think abou it some more.
The nations top overthinkers gather for 3 days to think about the meaning of overthinking - did someone take this seriously?? That’s funny. (Not meaning that critically-- it’s funny.) Guess people take you seriously, QM. Hard to gauge the sarcasm meter here sometimes.
Hilarious article!
Sounds like my daytime job-- everything overworked.
Ditto on the work reference
