Read a full interview with the webmaster of this site.

Bill Stockton's Satirium began publishing at its own domain name in October, 2003. It publishes three original satirical articles -- or columns, actually -- each week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. A funny and sometimes even satirical news headline scroll is updated daily.

Bill Stockton is a journalist and author who woke up one day and realized it was easier, and more enjoyable on the whole, to make up news stories instead of bothering with finding and interviewing sources, checking facts and battling with copy editors over what can and cannot be said in print. A collection of the best of Bill Stockton's Satirium will be published in book from in fall 2004, to be followed by a novel "The Lady from Sheboygan". The first person to identify the Satirium article that inspired the novel's central character will receive a free copy of the Best of Satirium book.

J.W. Hunnicutt, a scholar of Caesarian Rome of no little repute, reports from Tampa, Florida:

Satirium is derived from an obscure Roman Latin-based dialect used only at the foot of the Third Hill of Rome approximately 2,312 years ago. My source tells me that a young man, Satirius, was a big hit at an early improv club there and his fans called his monologs satirium.
