Is StraightDope.com real?

I find the guy's answers/replies hilarious but it seems like he's making the stuff up a bit. Is it real or just for humor?

real.

I've been reading the books for years, he wrote a column in the chicago paper for years, dont know if he still does, this was before the internet

It is quite real. There also was a tv show for a little while a few years back.
