9. A former FIFA executive accused of soliciting bribes in the corruption case brought by the U.S., unknowingly cited to an farcical article in the satirical newspaper “the Onion” to defend his position. “Wait, ‘the Onion’ isn’t real?” said Brian Williams.

10. On a recent episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” psychic John Edwards told Kim that, despite her efforts, she would not get pregnant again. And I have never wanted to believe in psychics more.
