Is Philip K. Dick Writing for The Onion Now?
Here's a headline from the home page of Fox News Channel:
Man Loses, Regains Self Out There:
Missing 54-year-old logs on to Web, discovers own identity
The story tells of a Wisconsin man who disappeared in late August. Despite still being in the midst of a "dissociate fugue" episode, which is similar to amnesia, the man, with the aid of a priest and a psychiatrist in the small Iowa town where he found himself, found a picture of himself online. No real news here; it all just seems really weird, especially the headline, that's all.
Whole thing here.

Phillip K. Dick might be writing for The Onion, but Philip K. Dick died in 1982, so probably not...
Pedantic,
Lost the superfluous l. Happy Hollidays.
Guess someone at Fox agreed with you Nick. They apparently shortened the headline.
BTW now that you dropped the superfluous l, what's up with the superfluous link?
It looks like nick doesn't know dick 😉
That's what he gets for chewing Chew-Z.
