For news articles which seem so much like satire that you're surprised they're not from The Onion.

Rules
  1. Headlines must exactly match the articles'.
  2. Posts must be genuine news articles, not satire, opinion, or tabloid pieces.
  3. News must be current.
  4. Popular political, religious, or social views are not Oniony, no matter how ridiculous you may think them.

Have you spent 93 days at the bottom of the Atlantic? It is life changing

We should all do this once every ten years. Live forever.

Yes, chronic sleep deprivation from your Chief yelling at you is often life changing, but at least you get to hug a torpedo

It's the hydration that makes all the difference. I think.
