Oh, it’s the Onion.

Frightening how close ‘satire’ is getting eerily close to ‘serious.’

I was about a third of the way through it before it dawned on me that this had to be The Onion. Then I was scared that it wasn’t. “Intelligent Falling”—here I thought that was what I did in college when I’d had too much to drink.

I read a short story years ago, possibly by Heinlein, in which the world really is ending, and one of the signs is that the Alabama legislature repeals the law of gravity.
