        Watch out @TheOnion without any mention of satire, some folks may run around telling others like it is a hard fact!

        @i_am_MattNorton @TheOnion it's true. I had a coworker show me an Onion video thinking it was true till I corrected him.

        @ballpark_frank @theonion Yeah it's parody. Battleships are so1942. But the Ferguson PD does have a mech unit piloted by angsty white teens.
