A couple of our favorite recent posts on Facebook:

 
Tip of the Day: Be sure to use a sharp knife when slicing or chopping an onion. A food processor or dull knife used to slice or chop through an onion will rupture more of the onion's delicate cell structure, causing the release of more of its sulfur-containing amino acids. These come in contact with other enzymes in the onion, creating the sulfuric acid that makes you cry and makes the onion taste strong.
