A Swiss couple was on a bicycling tour through India and had camped for the night in a forest near a village. That night they were attacked and the female was raped. A local police officer had the audacity to complain about the couple’s choosing to sleep in the forest, essentially blaming them for the…

A couple radio DJs played a small hoax for April fools where they announced that the water supply contained a potentially dangerous chemical called dihyrogen monoxide which of course is just a more technical name for water.
