  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

You know that sensation of falling while you’re falling asleep? Have they ever tried dropping comatose or brain dead people to see if it wakes them up? In a safe way, like raised 1 foot off a bed in a hoist and fall softly onto a cushion.

Could you imagine being “locked in” with locked in syndrome and people around you decide to make you “fall”?

Yeah, you’re right. Roller coasters might be better.

It worked in Inception, so I don't see any reason it wouldn't work here.

Legit made me laugh!
