Can you tell a real news headline from one made up by the satirical website The Onion? It’s not as easy as you might think, but that’s the challenge of this quiz from Mental_Floss.

Good luck.

Not bad, I managed to get 9 out of 10 right.  The one I missed just seemed too far out there even for something like Fox or National Enquirer.  Oh well, can’t win em all I guess.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.

When life hands you lemons make apple juice. Then laugh while life tries to figure out how you did it.
