Real or Onion?

Can you tell a real news headline from one made up by the satirical website The Onion? It's not as easy as you might think, but that's the challenge of this quiz from mental_floss. You might remember some of these headlines, but you need to remember how true they are. I knew them all, but it's my business to know weird news stories. I want to see how well you do! Link

I knew the first two stories. The rest I got wrong :(

Unfortunately, I believe almost anything. The internet can be a terrible and confusing place for people like me.

I wish my bullshit detector was of higher quality.
