The Rules

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

Please also avoid duplicates.

"Facts that happened to be true"

As opposed to, what, facts that aren't true? Those aren't facts at all.

As opposed to just calling them facts because they are.
