How scary is it when a “The Onion” headline could be mistaken for a real headline?

Oh, and the story seems completely plausible too.

Apparently, members of the House were getting two type of phone calls from their constituents regarding how they should vote: “No”, and “Hell no!”.

Yet another in the “how did they land a man on the moon before they did that?” department.  It’s been added to the list for my next food shopping list.

This is getting ridiculous.

My father took me to my first ballgame at Yankees Stadium.  Years later I learned that he was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan and was heartbroken when they moved, so his taking me to my first ballgame at the site of his hated rivals must’ve been a little melancholy for him.  Yankees Stadium is as much a member of the Yankees as any player that has ever played there.  I’ll miss it.

Next Sunday, I’ll be at the last regular season game of Shea Stadium.  I am more a Mets fan, after all.

Next time I’m in Switzerland, someone remind me to steer clear of this particular restaurant.

Shiver me timbers!  It snuck up on me this year.  Arrrr.

Ernie Davis, the first African-American to win the Heisman trophy, was honored by his alma-mater, Syracuse University, with a statue outside the football stadium.  The statue shows Davis wearing Nike sneakers and holding a modern football helmet.  The problem is that neither was around while he was playing football.  The university says the statue will be fixed.

Scientists have no idea what it is.  It appeared out of nowhere and disappeared completely.

Three words: “That’s no moon.”

Google News picked up a 6+ year old story, and no one who read it bothered to see it was from 2002, and it just snowballed from there.  United stock price went from $12/share to $3/share before partially recovering at $11/share.  Everyone’s pointing fingers, but the real party to blame are the people who blindly followed a news article from years ago without bothering to look at the dates.

Scroll all the way down to see it.  And what sort of watch did he wear?  Longines.
