Críticas

"Leave it to the geniuses at The Onion, who have revolutionized the science of sarcasmic infoengineering in the weekly print newspaper format, to do the same for the venerable encyclopedia. Miraculously, in only 250 or so pages, they have managed to cram more meaningful information about our universe into one book than Google or Bing or even Alta Vista have been able to do with several times that number of "web pages"."--Popmatters.com "More of what The Onion does best: Make readers collapse in fits of giggles."--Scott Coffman, Louisville Courier-Journal "Extremely funny."--Miami Herald "Forget Wikipedia, burn all your books, and snap that Encarta CD Rom in half, because The Onion has just released its BOOK OF KNOWN KNOWLEDGE."--- MSN's The Bubble "One of the best works that "The Onion" has ever produced...[it] dryly parodies an encyclopedia in the most comprehensive manner imaginable."--- Huffington Post Comedy "An encyclopedic fun house of information and illustrations teeming with hundreds of entries covering everything from the letter A to Zibby the cartoon squirrel."--Elle "Long on laughs."--The Economist "Everything you've ever wanted to know about anything."--Huffington Post "A tome so replete with knowledge [that it allows readers] to win friends and influence people."--- Entertainment Weekly
