Which IS NOT a true story?
Though these 4 stories I'm about to relate seem unbelievable, three of them were reported in reputable news sources. See whether you can spot the one that is made up.
(For those of you who read this in Maxim, please don't give away the answer.)
1) Two guards at the Milwaukee County Zoo were arrested after they were caught killing and eating peacocks. When officials noticed that the birds, which roam the sparsely wooded grounds freely were disappearing, they organized a night-time stakeout and caught the guards grilling a peacock on a hibachi.
2) Suspecting the work of space aliens, Argentine officials sent teams of scientists to investigate the deaths of 70 farm animals that were found mutilated, dissected and drained of blood. "The way the entrails were removed through a burnlike incision in the cow's rear end is very strange," said one farmer. "It has to be something from beyond the Earth."
3) A 92,000-acre Alaskan wildfire was started by scientists playing with firecrackers. The scientists, who were studying mortality rates among moose calves, were using the firecrackers to scare off an aggressive female. A female moose, that is.
4)After a bottle-nosed dolphin tried to have sex with several swimmers near an English resort town, the man who trained Flipper attempted to lure the animal out to sea and away from frigid divers. He didn't succeed.
Again - three of these stories are true. One isn't. Which one to you think is made up? And why, if you care to say?
I'll post the answer a bit later, after people have a chance to play along.
