The best one is from Car & Driver that news agencies picked up as real... Sad really that it is not so far from reality that it was believed.

Any other good ones? I always think The Onion should do real stories today just to F with people.

Yesterday I texted a few of my buddies in Vegas and told them through third person that I would not be coming because I was in jail. One fell off his chair in surprise the others were all worried as shit. They actually believe I could be in jail! That sucks lol. I never get in trouble
