Ever notice in the Onion Desk Calendar that all the best material falls on the weekend when no other co-workers get to enjoy it.

Personally, I hate the way they split an article over 3 or 4 days.  They should have just used the quick sidebar news stories.

This story-splitting gets on my nerves too. The single page days with just a photo and a headline are the best.
