Parodies and humour are valuable qualities of human nature.
If someone writes a funny item, it goes into the catagory "funny" or
whatever and is cross-referenced with a serious article about the subject.
That way, people that want to read serious stuff, get the funny stuff as a
bonus and vice versa.
