  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.

Yeah, logically it makes zero sense to bet for it other than ego-soothing. Which even that barely makes sense. And it's not like the Christians can bet $1 million, either. The funds get withdrawn and held, so you're literally out money and wouldn't ever collect on the winnings.

Might as well bet on an asteroid hitting earth and wiping out all life on earth. To win the bet, you have to be dead.
