  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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Every single time I read it I juggle between Uttar Pradesh and the Upper Peninsula. Cause one is much much closer to me.

It's never the Upper Peninsula.

There's usually something in the headline that makes my brain go "oh its uttar pradesh again" but. They both have roads. That have potholes. And have ambulances. And I once again let my brain go "maybe this time!" and I was tricked by my own brain again!
