"Drunk Driver Who Couldn't Find Brake Pedal Crashes Into Brake Store!"
Truth! In Greenville, South Carolina, 21-year-old Jaderric Freeman was allegedly so intoxicated that he reportedly couldn't hit his brakes. So he crashed - right into Brakes 4 Less.

"Mick Jagger Changing Name to Mick Shagger!"
Trash! No matter how true it may be, he's sticking with Jagger

"Man Who Choke-Slammed Teen Says Just Following the President's Orders!"
Truth! In Missouri, 39-year-old Curt Brockway choke-slammed and seriously injured a 13-year-old boy who didn't take his hat off during the national anthem. His attorney, Lance Jasper, says his client suffers from a brain injury and believes he was only following orders from President Trump who said if people kneel, they should be fired, or if they burn a flag, they should be punished.

"Researchers Create Artificial Tongue to Combat Counterfeit Whiskey!"
Truth! It was invented by Scottish researchers and is said to be better able to distinguish between fake and authentic bottles than the human equivalent.

"Crazed Inventor Creates All-Rubber Car!"
Trash! But think if we all went that route-no crashes, just big bounces!

"Doctors Circumcise 70-Year-Old Man by Mistake!"
Truth! In England, Terry Brazier was supposed to have a bladder procedure. Instead, doctors circumcised the 70-year-old. He got a $24,000 settlement.

"Man Water Skis for An Hour Without Skis!"
Trash! And really, the real trick would be water skiing without a boat.
