The Onion’s Magic Answer Ball: If It’s Not 100% Correct, You’re Not Shaking It Hard Enough.
HISTORY OF THE ONION'S MAGIC ANSWER BALL:
Around the turn of the 20th century, T. Hermann Zweibel, the best-known and influential of The Onion newspaper publishers, led an expedition to Tibet. For it was there, in the lofty Himalayas, that rumors of a sphere of immense and unknowable power caught the ambitious paper magnate's ears. Zweibel discovered this sphere, buried so deep within an icy crevasse that it had never been touched by daylight. This sphere, when correctly prompted, could divulge hints leading to the very secrets of the universe. Within decades, Zweibel’s team of scientists, engineers, and marketers had devised a way to mass-produce a near-exact copy of the Orb, and The Onion’s Magic Answer Ball has sold briskly ever since. Now, its immense power can be harnessed by users of the iPhone.
