Jeez! These headlines would be even funnier if they weren't such real possibilities.

Mayankh,
I know you called this satire - and the editor who published it agreed with you. But it "'tain't funny, McGee..."
3 - Mr. Real Estate
You forgot one:
Donald Trump To Build Condo Tower Overlooking Persian Gulf
Hey, it could happen.
4 - Ray Ellis
Taking one's self too seriously is detrimental, Ruvy. Truth is, if we don't laugh, the terrorists win.
5 - Matthew T. Sussman
Hold everything.
The terrorists win if Ruvy doesn't think this article is funny?
6 - Ruvy in Jerusalem
Ray,
Let me repeat the wisdom of another fellow who commented here.
"Jeez! These headlines would be even funnier if they weren't such real possibilities."
The posibilities of too many of things listed in the article actually happening is what robs the funniness from it.
