I'm not going to bore you all with one of mine, but rather pass along a couple funny ones I've seen on the innumerable year end recaps.

This is pretty damned funny headline from the Onion:

Hunter S. Thompson Shoots Mouth Off One Last Time

And back from the dead, Herdofsheep.com: 

 TEHRAN, IRAN - The Iranian government has backed down from their demand that Israel be "wiped off the map", and have proposed instead that the Jewish state be coloured less prominently, and that "Israel" be written in a smaller, fainter typeface.

An Iranian diplomatic source told us "If we can't have them wiped off the map, then at least the UN could make Israel a bit less noticeable." He went on: "It's not a big strip of land anyway, and if the name was written in 8pt Helvetica or something then you might not even realise it were there."

Israeli officials were reported to be studying the suggestion carefully before responding. The UN, meanwhile, was drawing up draft maps. Udi Baroba of the UN press office told Herdofsheep: "We're encouraging Israel to take a look at this. If colouring in Israel a kind of light pink or green were the price to pay for peace, then it might be worth it."
